Featured 6 gallon saltwater aquarium!!!

Ok cool, my bad sorry, i have taken them on board
Thanks alot, by the sounds of it, i may have to stick with just a coral tank, cause parents are being amnnoying grrrr

 

Are they being typical parents and saying no?

 

yeah, ahah, they said no to fish, so i said what about a coral tank , are corals fish or organisms? and im gunna try and sneek a clownfish in in about 4 months after its up and running lol

 

corals are inverts mate

 

My next question, are invertes fish lol ??, sorry im top set for biology and can't remember ( my little cheeky boast there )

 

No, fish have a spine

 

nope not fish at all

 

HUGGING!, nice, i can tell them that now eheheh, you feed them right, soz im new to coral, fish i can do, coral, never had ahah

 

How about a tank with corals in and also things like a nice cleaner shrimp, dwarf hermit crabs, snails and stuff? Would look great in that tank you have your eye on

 

Thats what im thinking , maybe add a clown after a while, but your ideas great!, it won't be to difficult to care for as corals dont produce waste ( i think) and it should look good, and will be a good project
How often will i need water changes?

 

same as if you had fish I would do really 10% every week

 

how often should i feed corals?, im thinking of getting frozen cubes and buy enough for the months, then feed it slowly, so how mucha nd how often?
Thanks
Mike

 

oh, and coral colonies or frags?, which one? frags seem to be cheaper, but are they better or worse? diffrences? thanks
Mike

 

If you start with soft corals they don't need feeding. Your clean up crew will eat a pellet like Crab Cuisine and also get pods off your live rock etc.

 

really! wow, so what do soft corals feed on then?

 

frags are smaller and less of a dent on your pocket have a browse on our site youll see different types and also different prices, there are also frags and colonies. Also care section too.
Id say in a small tank frags tbh as they will take up less room.

Feeding wise depends on what type of coral.

Also lighting will dicate which types are best for you as a beginner soft corals are the easiest and also most forgiving

 

soft corals need light thats about it but they will feed ie take food if offered

 

Photosynthesis.........

frags are just small specimens of coral that take time to grow into colonies.

 

Thanks everyone, makes so much sense!!, i think i'll start with a couple of frags soft corals and see how we go

do you know of any reliable sites that sell these, or do you use your local shop?
