Please tell me some corals you would recommend and can the algae be battled?

Next time you are at BR, see if they have a "delicate" SPS frag and you'll see what I mean.

 

[Kannin]

I have no experience with SPS... My plan is to put it in the center and high on the pillars.

 

[jnarowe]

just an example of a coral that would help your aquascape illusion. If I was doing that tank, I would defer to the smallest polyp zoanthids for instance. The smaller the coral structure, the more realistic it will look IMO.

 

[Kannin]

I love zoanthids...

I am think of doing this around the upfront center structure.

 

[jnarowe]

yeah, I have some cool ones too.

 

[Kannin]

wow!!!

 

[jnarowe]

hehehehe...

 

[Kannin]

I bought some colors like yours online but they didn't spread like the colonies I've acquired locally.

 

[jnarowe]

I hear ya...but I am working on it! Just got some pink ones from Gabriel that are finally opened up and they are sweet.

Looks great...now get some water in there.

 

[Kannin]

If you've read my thread... You know I don't have a good track record with water. I think I better just leave it like this for a while.

Good Stuff!!

You can always use the tank for reptiles!

 

[jnarowe]

Ouch.

Less of a chance for leaks... right? Probably a heckofa lot cheaper too.

 

[mrcrab]

yeah but they'll smell up the place. Your wife like rats & mice? :eek1:

 

[steve the plumb]

Thats for sure.You can use the drains when you wash out the lizard crap.This way all that plumbing won't go to waste.

 

[Kannin]

Just what I need... Lizard crap leaking out my pipe joints.

 

[steve the plumb]

well if you would have invited me I could have come down there and helped you out.Its not like I am working anyway.It would give me an excuse to get away.
