Re: 20G SW FINALLY
Did the corals and zoa grow by themselves on the live rock?

Re: 20G SW FINALLY
The coral I got a few days ago has fully attached to the LR and looks to be doing well. So I decided to get some GSP coral today from the same guy. When I picked it up I had to ask if it was the right stuff cause I didnt know that when it closes up its purple LOL.
Now for a question, does GSP coral do better in high flow area or lower flow?

LoL I thought you meant "green spotted puffer" coral. Then I remembered that the guy at the LFS was confused because when I said "GSP" it meant something else to him and me. How's Bacon doing with the corals in there? I was thinking of maybe trying to do a few after I get the new tank set up, but I have heard mixed feedback on GSPs and corals.

Re: 20G SW FINALLY

Re: 20G SW FINALLY
As far as I have seen, LED lights are perfectly fine for corals. You just have to make sure to use enough so you have sufficient wattage per gallon.

Re: 20G SW FINALLY
Welp I am now and the search for a 40ish gallon tank for Bacon.
Me and my gf broke up so I lost the 75 I was going to put her in.

Re: 20G SW FINALLY
My corals didnt like no light for 24+ hours. They were really really shriveled and have been taking a while to fully open
