CA2OR Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I have been participating in a thread on another forum that has been proving to be both entertaining and educational....and being that anything that has both of these qualities seem to be a lot of fun here I thought I would start it up here.... Here is how it works as the concept is very simple... All you do is answer the previously asked reef related question and then ask a new one and so on. I'll get things going with the first question which I will come back and answer to give you an idea of how it works (and no I don't like talking to myself, but I'm thankful for the opportunity :p). If it makes things easier to follow along, you can quote the question you are answering first in your response. Q: What is the fastest growing coral?

newfisher Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Q: What is the fastest growing coral? Kenya tree or Zenia IMO.

reef165 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 A: 24 hours Q: what is the optimum water peramitors for a sps tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted December 17, 2010 Author Share Posted December 17, 2010 A: 24 hours Q: what is the optimum water peramitors for a sps tank? A: I would think this SG: 1.024-1.026 Close to NSW levels. Temp: 78-82 Ammonia: 0 Nitrate: 0 Nitrite: 0 Phosphates: 0? Ca: 400-440ppm Alk: 8-12dkh Mg: should be 3 times your calcium level...1500ppm or so but 1300 is the minimum pH: 8.1-8.3 (keep mine on average at 8.2) Feel free to correct me if I am wrong on any of this Q: Why do I find hermit crabs outside of their shells?

gawf4fun Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Q: Why do I find hermit crabs outside of their shells? State of Oregon smoking ban requires them to leave the building? (laugh) Q: Can there be a T5 HO lighting system small enough to go into a 17" x 10" space above a hex freshwater tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(laugh) Q: Can there be a T5 HO lighting system small enough to go into a 17" x 10" space above a hex freshwater tank? A: I don't know....I would assume as I had T5's running over my 12g....but there are LED options. Q: What are the obvious identifiers for SPS vs LPS? I ask because I have an unknown coral that I think is SPS but most that see it either say it's a softie or LPS....it has hard skeleton and polyps similar to a devils hand leather.

reef165 Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 A: I believe that the size of the polyp, the fact that the skeleton is on the inside with tissue over it, plus the branchy tree without leaves look.

Kimberlee Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Q: Will a serpent star become a fish predator? A: NO, they are scavengers.
