Ammonia : does it affect corals ?


Recommended Posts

  • SRC Member

hi Guys,

i was at one LFS last weekend and I overheard one of the LFS guy guiding a newbie on how to setup his new tank.

What cought my attention was he said, the "cycling" process for coral reef system is not necesary. Ammonia --> NO2(??) --> NO3(??) only affects Life Stocks such as fishes/etc...etc... but not coral.

it can tolerate the cycling process... so the newbie shouldn't worry that much...

is there any truth in this ?

Eric.

Is this the same LFS that the ah peh throw the cigarette ash into the tank ?

Dont think so lah.

It seem like it is one of those neighbourhood one. We have quite a few.

I can still remember about 6 months ago when someone told me that red snapper is funny. They moment I add to my tank it took my blood shrimp. :angry:

Then he tries to be expert in sun coral...tell me this and that when his sun coral is not even opening at all.

Recently, his show tank crashed and everything is gone.

Long time ago, I was given the same information by A***mart. What a joke. I think it is better to read reefing books or research on the Net. Or listen to real reefing experts in RC or SRC. LFS info can be so bad at times, I wonder if they are really pro or just out to make your money. Sorry if I offend anybody.
