Yellow Sps recommandations


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, was reading the article for sps coloration on reef builders.

Read more: http://reefbuilders.com/2008/09/03/guide-of-sps-coral-coloration-make-them-more-vivid-bright/#ixzz319QRFdUl

Came across this section:

Yellows

Highly dependent on Nitrate and PO4 levels. Of course all SPS colors are highly dependent on lack of N and P so I wanted to start with probably the easiest color to get, yellow. Yellows are sort of you baseline; yellows will tell you a lot about what is going on in your tank, what is needed and what is overdosed. Nitrate and/or PO4 reduction is most important, either through technical means such as nitrate/phosphate reducers or biologically through DSB, Carbon dosing and/or water changes and fuges. Basically, if you want to do SPS, I would suggest starting with an acropora that is yellow. If you can get it to say yellow for several months, you should be ready for something else.

Can anyone recommend some yellow coloured sps? I don't see it very often and its supposed to be easiest colour to get. In fact, haven't come across a nice coloured yellow sps before. Or maybe most of them just turn green after awhile.

Thanks all for recommendation. Bro kakani, maybe it's just my phone. It looks more greenish to me. But I'll be keeping an eye out for yellow acros like the one u link.

Yeah, lol. It's recommended to start with yellow. But can't find any yellow sps to even begin with.

Pinmacle sps shipment sometimes have quite a few caroliniana colony at 35$.

Slowly bring the colour to fully bright yellow.
