KMiller Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 So I went and got my Aquaticlife T5HO 4 bulb light today!! (Thanks Eric and Travis at Liquid Sunshine for holding it for me and not selling it!!) So I was wondering what I should buy first?! What is the best starter coral to start with?(clap) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgf86123 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 zoas, mushrooms, most softies period really. If you were closer, ive got some sinularia id be happy to frag for you that would do good. on most of the SPS, like acros, they recommend waiting 6 months or so for your tank to mature before adding, same with anemones. what size tank is this fixture going over?

jgf86123 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 2 things, and they're just suggestions. But, I'd ditch the tang, that's really enough tank for him, they need 6' tanks, and second, I'd find a way to ditch the CC, that stuff is nasty, a nice fine, sugar sized, sand is much preferable. Other than that, I can't see anything to stop you from getting a birdsnest, easy sps, and go from there. Nice job on the light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMiller Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 We were actually thinking about ditching the tang too. and I just purchased some sand tonight that I will put in this weekend! It's just a lot of work if I did at night after I got home from work!! This light is so amazingly bright, I LOVE it!! I will see if I can get a FTS for you all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMiller Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 I will see if I can get a FTS for you all scratch that FTS for right now... hubby is doing some "maintenance" and it's a tad cloudy (wife) (whistle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMiller Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 On a side note, does anyone want 2 clownfish, a sailfin tang and a coral beauty? we are ready for a change (we are taking everything out of the tank so we can add sand this weekend, so it would be the perfect time to catch some fish! I go to Eugene pretty much every day for work, so I could meet/deliver if need be!) Are monti, toadstool, birdsnest and hammers good starters?

jgf86123 Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 yes they are, but, i would go with the monti, birdsnest and hammer, scratch the toadstool LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have frogspawn that I could cut of clusters of 3 -5+ heads. The last time I was selling frogspawn I would be willing to sell it for $3 per head. I am in Oregon City near Portland if you ever make it up this way. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitricker Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 They sure are pretty fish, but don't they like to eat coral? someone was just on here trying to get rid of one that was munching his acans if my memory serves me correctly.
