looking for ideas on first coral......what is a good looking yet easy to manage coral? and how long should i wait to put corals in if i just got my tank?

 

[drummereef]

What kind of lighting do you have over your biocube, M2B3J? Polyps, shrooms, and most softies are good hearty choices for first corals.

 

[M2B3J]

36 watt true actinic 03 blue straight pin
36 watt 10,000K daylight straight pin
3-.75 watt lunar blue-moon-glow LED

Ok, great. Yeah, like I said, softies, polyps, shrooms, etc are all good choices.

 

[M2B3J]

do you know about biocubes drummereef?

 

[drummereef]

A little bit.

 

[M2B3J]

my lights only have one plug (they are both connected to the same ballast) is there a timer to turn off my moonlight a fluorescent light at diff times of the day

 

[drummereef]

You can just get some outlet/light timers from Home Depot and the like. If the 10k and actinic are on the same plug then there's really no way to seperate them.

So your 10k/actinic are seperate from the lunar lights right? 2 plugs?

you might be able to rewire it....

 

[M2B3J]

all of it originates in one plug, i try to keep my moonlights on by themselves for at least an hour before i just it all off.....this just creates a problem

Ah, gotcha. Hopefully someone else on here will be able to get an answer for you. Post this in the Nano Forums. There's a lot of Biocube users out there.
