Precautions I should take? My first SPS
Hi guys,
My 90 gal tank is ready for some SPS. Nutrient levels are nice and low, chemistry is stable and lighting is powerful. I’ve never kept SPS before, so I will start slow. Obviously I want to reduce/ eliminate the risk of parasites such as red bugs and other nasty critters. What should I do to treat incoming corals before adding them to my tank. Should I use a coral dip? If so, what kind?
Also, what is a good acclimation method to use with SPS. I would probably opt for the old drip method that I use for fish and shrimp. How do I acclimate to my lights? (2x250W MH)
Thanks guys, I’d appreciate anything you could tell me
