Thinking about a tank reset.. Need list of low light corals

[dakota9]

I've always had to try to keep dendros, ducans and suncorals under overhangs and in caves where they were difficult to hand feed, I like the idea of bringing them out from hiding in a shady, heavily actinic laden tank...... I think the colors would look cool too

Geez.. Comes to your house, shoots the breeze, gets some coral and can't even remember your name.. I would'nt talk to him anymore Curt..

Sorry about that........ Do you ever have any problems with your six line jumping BACK in the tank, rehydrating and coming back to life? There, that should fix that. If asking if it ever jumped made it jump, then asking the last question will certainly rectify the matter. You let me know if/when I can further asist you with my powers of persuation.

I heard they were hard to keep, is this ture?

 

[smoothie]

Yep unless you read read read and prep for them. Well worth the hastle I think

I've heard some species of carnations (there are alot of different species) Will do very well if you set up a phytoplankton drip.
You could try some gorgonians, non photosynthetic or photosynthectic. I have put my photosynthectic gorgonians in overhangs, at the bottem of the tank, and at the top and they seem to do fine any were. Non photosynthetic gorgonians can be very hard to keep, but some might do well with a phytoplankton drip.

That sounds very labor intensive, so I think I'll fore-go he Carnation. Also, I've never been overly fond of gorgonians.

Thanks for the input though!

Well, I have two separate parties interested in my light. Obviously still considering this change over.

Remembering that I'd be looking for <u>very low lighting</u> on my 30 cube, what do you guys think about this fixture?

If T-5 is the way to go, I found this on sale (dual bulb fixture); [IMG]http://www.petsolutions.com/GLO-T5-HO-Lighting+I15513900+C40001722.aspx">http://www.petsolutions.com/GLO-T5-HO-Lighting+I15513900+C40001722.aspx</a>

Chili Coral
Dendros
Duncans
Sun Coral
Ricordia
Devil's Hand (upper half of tank on rock mound)
Sponges

Leathers
Mushrooms
African Blue Xenia (upper half of tank on rock mound)


I'll still need to re-home my Clam, a colony of polyps that don't seem to happy without bright lighting, a chalice frag, button polyps, palys, plate coral and possibly a zoa rock.


Still interested in Low-Light Coral suggestions (if I've missed any)

Crap! I was just about to ask you about your light. If the other two fall through, LMK.

 

[weaglereefer]

I know I talked to you about it, so if I was one of them, then pass it on as my 10g is in the process of coming down...
