Jarrett Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 Just setting up my tank and looking for some corals. PM if you are selling your coral, budget is limited therefore looking for cheaper/smaller type. Will be away and may reply PM only next Tue. I am not using chiller so coral must be able to take temperature at 30 - 31 deg C. Prefer to take from those that are currently in tank without chiller(no temperature shock to the coral) and stay in the East location. If possible do attach images as I am not familar with their name, do leave your contact for me to make a quick deal. Tks, !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member spaceman Posted July 21, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted July 21, 2005 yup agree! your fishes will also not like to swim in 30 deg C water!! must consider their welfare! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjamin Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 yes, at least have a fan. else coral will have higher metabolic rate, need to eat more, more polution and shorter lifespan. if temp constantly at high, coral bleaching may occur due to a series of interrelated events e.g. high temp = high evaporation = higher salinity high temp = low oxygen holding capability in water high salinity = lower oxygen holding capability in water etc...
