Suggestions needed for corals

Marouette21 · 04/18/2018, 10:15 AM

Hello,

There is my tank.

What is your favorite coral to put close of the light. I have around 4 inchec between the rock and the water level and I'm not sure what coral I could put there. It's directly under my AI Prime HD. I already have a montipora digitata (not on the picture)

Thanks!

Really? I had the idea zoah need to be on the bottom of the tank. I have some. Maybe I need to test them more on the top and see how that going

I am only running a BioCube LED with stock lights, but they seem to like it. Upgrading to Steve's LEDs when I get the time to install.... Maybe I'll have problems with too much light?

You should be able to put most lps in that tank. Any soft corals and probably some of the less light demanding sps. You just have to decide which route you want to take with it.

From what I was told an AI Prime should be fine to support most if not all SPS as well. Just have to be a little more careful about placement.

I'm also just starting out like OP, and have an aquapod 24 which is roughly the same dimensions as a BC29, etc and also have rock that goes to about 4 inches under the water line and plan on doing SPS across the top and LPS along the bottom.
