When to add SPS (easy ones!)

[Chaloupa]

LOTS and FREE??? Two of my favorite words when it comes to coral! That is a bit easier to take when it doesn't survive that's for sure! I don't want to spend a bunch of money just to find out I completely suck at keeping SPS and I should stick to a FOWLR tank!!!! Mom and I were talking about taking a day trip over to Powell River, but might not make it very soon......hmmm will have to talk this over...I would like to see your tanks..(and steal your ricordea!)

Thank you for the generous offer AND for the "soon to get" freebies Marie!

The rule of the thumb is when you have a coraline on the glass size of the 25cent coin you are ready for SPS,
Stability is a key word for any system. Calc reactor is a way to go with tanks over 60 Gal.
With water flow if you think you have enough... double it !
Hey you are aproaching a scarry number of posts...tripple 6...He-he.

Andresont! thank you so much for your input! I appreciate it...I do have coraline growth...my calcium levels are "good".....all other levels are ok too.... I do know that I will need a reactor down the road but have been advised not to get one yet as the tank is too young. All other corals are completely thriving...zoos, colts, palys, ricordea, frogspawn, hammer, leather etc...(of which all except the zoos/ricordea/paly will be needing new homes soon!) Will give it a bit of a try to see how ones from Marie do...and I guess that will tell me!
