Fuzzy stick? You lost me?

**Poseidon** · 01-10-2008, 05:34 PM

SPS Corals.... Milliapora, A. Tortusa, A. Yongei, etc.... Fuzzy Sticks.

**drlowz** · 01-10-2008, 05:36 PM

Are them "hardy" corals because I dont keep up any maintenance...

**Poseidon** · 01-10-2008, 05:39 PM

Uh... No. You can get away with few water changes, but you need to stay on top of the Ca and Alk levels, they demand excessive lighting, and I say a HUGE Protein Skimmer.

I need hardy corals because I dont do water changes.....and havent in a very long time....any suggestions on easy to keep corals?

easy corals?

**drlowz** · 01-11-2008, 04:47 PM

yea ones that would take a hurricane, and forrest fire to kill.....

**Poseidon** · 01-11-2008, 07:30 PM

Branching Monti, and birdnest seem to be the toughest in my tank.

Mike is right about the branching digitata, even I couldn't kill that!!! A. yongei is also pretty stupid proof, I couldn't kill that either.

Is this what your talking about??

Acropora Yongei

**charlie** · 01-11-2008, 09:21 PM

That be the one!!!! I started mine under PC's, before I put the 300 up. it darn near outgrew the 80. I was making money on it even then.

Totally agree w/Shane here, however im hooked on SPS and consider the real estate to be worth more....I bet dr's tank supports a varied diversity of microfauna though because of the algae growth. It appears to be like a glorified refugium almost....And I can stare @ a refugium longer than a display if its a nice fuge! I would enjoy this tank alot more in person I bet but not in pics like this.....of course if you took some macros of your macro that might be a different story

**drlowz** · 01-13-2008, 06:20 AM

There is a skimmer.....I think.........

**drlowz** · 03-08-2008, 06:20 PM

Some new pics...
