i shall get some corals like these also then, just need a skimmer for excess food

 

[sorgan]

be carful if you inrend to stock filter feeding corals as marine snow wont support them for the long term. variety is the spice of life. also as a biggener i would suggest you stick to easier softies until you can keep water quality good without all that extra food.

 

[lewiss]

Don't over skim as it'll remove to much food from the azoox. Ask Sorgan ur questions on azoox tho cos I'm not doing very well with mine and Sorgan is the best with them!

 

[sorgan]

As I posted just before lewiss, while I would love to see more NPS in peoples tanks they are by far one of the more difficult things to keep for a whole horde of reasons.
Get your water quality down to a tee then we can talk gorgs, sponges and other NPS.
A sun coral or chilli won't hurt tho as they are pretty sturdy.

 

[fishy55599]

yeah, those wouldnt be for few months

 

[lewiss]

Ooops!! Sorry! Pushing the dark side to early!!
