Optimal placement of corals in the aquarium

Post by kangaview »

Got a new addition for my Nuvo 16 tank, but I'm stuck on placement - anyone got suggestions?

Tank's pretty shallow, btw. Running Maxspect lights.

Should I go for high flow or keep it calm? And what's the best lighting setup - high or low?

Thanks in advance, guys.

I was thinking goniopora too, but these ones are all flat, no stems or heads underneath. My LFS guy mentioned something about a flower pot, but I couldn't find anything like that on Google.

Goniopora's often go by flower pot, so don't worry about the name. Feed it well with fish waste or fine floating foods, the colony'll snatch it up. High light and flow work well for mine too.

Goniopora for sure. I've got mine at the bottom, good alternating flow seems to do the trick. Got three of them now, love 'em.
