I'm now expanding my love for corals into the vast array of the SPS world. I have no experience in keeping them. But have been reading reading and reading as much as I can about their care and requirements. Yet there are so many different types.
So what I'm looking for are suggestions for this nooby. The more easier to keep as I would hate to kill anything just because of ignorance. I can read all I want but to me there's nothing better then the words from the experienced keeper.
first off you need that ro/di machine to start off right. lighting of either t5 or metal halide or both. good variable water flow to keep the mucus they shed off and their little polyps a movin! there is alot more but these are just some starter ideas to throw around. good luck, sps are my favorite too.
SPS is definitely more of a challenge in a small system. Try to find some common (inexpensive ones) to start with. Monti caps and green birdsnets come to mind as decent starter sps.
yep a small system is much more difficult for sps since they require stability and in a small system that is much harder to achieve. The best you can do is experiment with a few corals and see what happens.
i have found that birds nest dont do well in a small tanks i lost 3 in my nano when my stag horn was growning like mad and it seems to happen over night with them
Nooby to SPS
