Just wondering what is low maintenance corals? by the way I had zero knowledge on marine.
Hi guys, after 2 months of cycling, finally got my tank up and running. its a simple budget setup. with low maintenance corals and fishes.
corals are there as an experiment.i bought the low maintenance variety.3 for 10 dollars. if i am able to sustain them for 1 month. then i will invest more money to get other types of coral.
currently. about 12KG of liferocks (will get more over time)
Lifestock:
2x green chromis
1x black neon damsel
1x common clownfish
1x domino
1x cloudy damselfish
1x blue knee hermit crab
1x unknown hitchhiker

low maintenance coral means corals that hardy and do not require much maintenance..
example, low light.

hm... there such a thing as well for marine
err..
just that this corals require less specific factors for growth. factors such as calcium for growth, water flow, whether there is plankton for the corals to feed, different light source (blue or full spectrum lighting) and others..
yeah. i got my corals out of a tub that was not even lighted and was left in the open..3 for 10 dollars type of sale..

BlackGhost, what equipment are you currently using?
If you've learnt, teach, if you have, give.
Don't walk behind me as I might not lead, don't walk in front of me as I might not follow. Walk beside me, as my friend.
Mohamad Rohaizal is my name. If it's too hard, use BFG. I don't mind.
erm,
lights: 2ft T5HO 1 blue 1 white
filter: Dolphin OHF for 2ft (planning to change to canister next month)
filter medium:ceramic rings

update of livestock:
4x green chromis
1x black neon damsel
4x false clownfish
1x blue striped knee hermit crab

Get a protein skimmer. Canister filter might be a nitrate factory as I have read it somewhere before. Do you have a sump?
