Im setting up my .75 tank today. this tank will house my suncoral since im having difficultys feeding it in my 20L. should i not even worry about a light for this little tank?
No worries about light...they're non-photosynthetic, so lighting would only be for you to see the sun coral. Since they're nocturnal anyway, it won't really matter.
Just watch for skyrocketing nitrates and phosphate. A sun coral fed correctly in less than a gallon of water will quickly tox out.
i realize the high nutrients. this is why i want to move it to a pico. this way i can feed it then suck the excess out. that should keep my parameteres in check. I have been trying to feed it in the 20 with lights on, but it only will come out at night and my tank is having a alage break out do to the excess food floating around.
It's going to be exceedingly difficult, but hopefully you have a really hardy sun coral that will be able to withstand the swinging variables, such as temp, specific gravity, and of course, nitrites/nitrates/phosphates. I hope it works out for you.
yeah so far its done grate. i have a slight nitrate problem and i just realized my temp is going from 76 to 80. i dont know if that much of a swing or not. this is caused my fans. fortunately this house stay at 80 degrees (really hot for me but nice for a pico)
i mis-spelled great badly. sorry. Ill get some, when i find my camera. I would love to have it at my work but the temp here stays at 60 to 45 depending of the time of year.
