SRC Member FionaFiona Posted March 22, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 Can a 55W PL light with around 6 hrs photoperiod be sufficient for its lighting needs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But wat are its requirements? Light? Food? Flow? Do they sting? Any help is appreciated! bubble corals are one of the hardiest LPS IMO....they do not lyk strong current...place them in a area that is very low in current... feeding wise i do strongly tink dosing liquidfied plankton food is enough...wad im using now is marine snow... lighting wise...wad u mention is sufficient... jus my 2 cents..

SRC Member Metabolic_7 Posted March 22, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 22, 2006 If your dKH 8 – 11 ,pH 8.0 – 8.4 & Temperature 23ºC - 26ºC (74 - 78ºF)with low current they should be find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted March 23, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2006 According to what i understand from my limited knowledge, bubbles are one of the LPS corals that will more likely sting other corals. Its safe to add a few bubble corals together though. As a general guide, its safer to leave some space in between different species...just to make sure. 55W should be good enough to meet their lighting requirements. They are one of the most hardy corals in my tank... Quote My Newbie Tank Thread My Blog All pics taken with CanoN!~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member FionaFiona Posted March 27, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 One question: Can Bubble corals be fragged? Can I get a large specimen and then chop half? I planned to share the frags with my friend. Pls advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted March 27, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 Erm....personally i have not heard of anyone fragging bubble corals before. Maybe its due to my limited reefing experience but it seems pretty dangerous since the skeleton is more or less in a snigle piece, unlike those branching corals that you can frag easily by just dividing the branches. Think it'll be pretty unwise to break the skeleton, exposing the flesh. Just my thoughts, any experienced reefer can comment?

SRC Member dumdum Posted March 27, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 hhmmm... havent heard of anyone fragging a piece of bubble coral yet. but if it is the branch type, then yes it can be frag .. Quote My Humble Tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member FionaFiona Posted March 27, 2006 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 ah~ then i shall be hunting for a branching one! oh ya, can someone pm me the average pricing of bubble corals? 1) small and big frags how much? 2) BIG bubbles and small bubbles how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted March 27, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 Erm, bubbles can cost anything from the range of 20+ to close to a hundred for a large sized specimen. I don't think the bubbles are priced by how big each individual bubble is, rather...the nicer the colouration...the higher the price will be. But of course there are the pearl bubbles with generally very small individual bubbles.....they are normally cheaper than the normal bubbles.

SRC Member Qxnviolet Posted March 27, 2006 SRC Member Share Posted March 27, 2006 Sounds confusing? Sorry...just as a guide....the larger bubble on the top which is approx 1 ft when fully expanded costed me around $80...the smaller one below it can really remember the price. The white piece on the right (pearl bubble) i got for around $25? Cant really remember the exact price....
