Everyone,
I will be buying my first Yumas in the next week at my local Frag swap. I need the help Yuma experts for insight on how to handle, care, and maintain them. I have already read a Ton!!
The bad part is that these are the first corals going into my tank. I know I should probably stick with something more resilient and easy to care for, but I only have a 65g tank....hence I don't have a ton of room for a lot of corals and want to keep the tank medium stocked. Plus....I have been bitten by the Yuma bug, and NEED to have them!!
Anyway, I know they need low flow and low photo acclimation period. The good news is that I have a great spot in a alcove/cave to house them. I am only running 1 Kessil 360WE on the new Kessil controller. As of now tank only has a CUC with inverts.....no fish as of yet. Water parameters are in order with proper levels.
Few questions....
I plan on using Revive to dip them. How much do I use and for how long?
Also....I just got my permanent QT tank setup and cycled (30g bare bottom, 2 pieces of LR, HOB Fluval 70, some PVC elbows, and a low light fluorescent bulb).
Is it worth QT these corals even after they are dipped?? I am worried because the lighting conditions and water flow aren't as optimal as my DT).
Need advice on the photoperiod for acclimation, the feeding schedule, and recommended food to feed them. I feed my feather dusters Marine snow 1-2 times a week....is the Marine Snow ok to use on them for now until they get acclimated?
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance.
