low light & low flow
« on: February 20, 2014, 09:49:39 »
Checking out the listings for the Ohio Reef Swap, I need suggestions for corals that might work in a lower light and flow area of my tank.  Keeping in mind I have a small tank (34 gal.)  Suggestions????

Mushrooms, ricordias, Zoas, GSP (watch out thought it will spread).

I have a few ricordias and love the colors and texture of them, I  just rsvp one.  Itsalifestyle has shared some Zoas, but I have never added any on my own.  Thanks Mussin!!
Twizted1 ~ I will check out the suncorals, thank you!!!

your lights will support anything and flow isn't horrible but not great this is what she has
current Solana 20x20x20
return pump updated
moded stock skimmer 
#2 Hydor Koralia Nano Evolution 240 gph 
marine solution newest led with control
she  keeps alittle of everything lps acans chalices frogspawn Duncan few other and some nice soft corals she also has a few small sps that are doing great at this point.
I feel she needs more flow and a newer skimmer she is running the stock skimmer that we moded alittle and some dosing pumps to keep levels stable. sorry to hijack your thread mom just trying to fill everyone in on what you have going on

Never a problem...  Everything is working well for now!  I am still seeking some coral that can be placed in those darker areas.  Checked out the black sun coral and it may be a nice contrast close to my yellow/orange one.   The reef needs more blues and violets ~ still searching!

Mag 9 return on a 34g tank??  Unless there's a bunch of head pressure I'd think she has plenty of flow...

Also keep in mind that with LEDs "look" a little different than other lights.   Those corners may not be as dark as they seem.
