Byrd Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 hey byrd, what kinda water parameters, lighting and whatnot do these need? what do they look like when they're grown out? i might be interested in taking one off your hands. thanks man mick Good question-I found this online although this is not a digitata, basiclly same info-IMO Montipora Digitata Ideal Environment Montipora digitata are best kept in moderate to high flow water conditions. Lighting for Montipora digitata, like all corals, is very important due to the photosynthesis process. This coral can handle the more concentrated heavy light of metal halides, or T-5 florescents and VHOs. They need at least three watts per gallon of a lighting method to thrive in a reef aquarium. Similar to other corals, Montipora digitata do best when given weekly feedings of micro-plankton to promote their growth. Montipora Digitata Additives In addition to maintaining a moderate water condition, Montipora digitata benefit from added calcium and strontium in the tank water. Calcium is integral to skeletal growth of the coral. This chemical should be kept in the 400-450 mg/l range. Alkalinity, an inorganic carbon source, is a helpful addition to the tank for Montipora digitata as a part of the photosynthesis process. This should be maintained at 160 mg/l or ~3.25 meq/l. Biocarbonates, an alkalinity booster, can also be added to promote the coral growth and health. Montipora Digitata Conditions Montipora digitata are easy to maintain and can grow rapidly with proper maintenance. The water temperature should stay between 72 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit with pH levels between 8.1-8.4, The dKH should be 8-12 and sq at 1.023-1.025. These are typical water conditions for many montipora and small polyp stony corals. TMI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
