Euphyllia placement in tank
Euphyllia placement in tank
Just picked up a new Euphyllia frag and wanna make sure I don't mess up the placement. Got a 40-gallon mixed reef with moderate flow, AI Prime lighting. Where do y'all usually stick yours?
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
I've had mine mid-tank with indirect flow for years. They're pretty chill but don't like getting blasted. What's your PAR at? Mine sits around 150–200, seems happy.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Mine started bleaching when I put it too high. Moved it lower with less light, and it colored right back up. Maybe start low and adjust?
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Euphyllia are drama queens, lol. Mine throws a fit if I even look at it wrong. Mid-tank, low flow, and they're golden.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Agreed on the flow. Too much and they'll retract all day. What's your nitrate level? Mine likes it under 10 ppm.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Mine's on the sandbed in a 75-gallon. Low flow zone, but enough to keep detritus off. Lighting's a mix of blues and whites, no issues so far.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Yo, mine's straight vibin' in the corner. Low tech setup, cheap LED, and it's growin' like crazy. Dunno why folks stress so much.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Mine didn't make it. Too much light, I think. Should've listened to the advice here.
Re: Euphyllia placement in tank
Appreciate the tips, everyone. Gonna start mid-tank and keep an eye on it. Nitrates are at 5 ppm, so should be good there.
