just wondering ive been set up for almost two months now, ive got a trigon 350l, 150w halides, flow is around 20x, i have a few hard and soft corals

was wondering if i could put in maybe acro or a monti to see how things go :wacko:

all levels are good, and exsisting corals are happy

any advice please :thumbsup:

yeah dont see why not.

Good sps corals to start off with or montiporas, branching and plating are the easier of the montipora.

best place to keep these are at the top of the tank to see how they cope, if they live in your tank then lower them ( if you wish) .

Hi, I have some acro/monti and pocillopora frags for sale, they are all very hardy. I am in Rosyth so not too far away if you would like some...going for £8 each.

hi gary, do you have any of those sps coral frags left that you offered to hutchy, been thinking about going down this route myself, and frags would be a good starting / trial point

hope to hear from you
