Achilles Tang Posted November 3, 2003 Share Posted November 3, 2003 IMO, 29 degrees is on the edge of danger for such corals... they will melt away once the temperature spikes. At the least, they will bleach and lose their nice green colours... which is also something you don't want. Be good to your corals and see if you can give them a constant cool environment of around 25 to 26 degrees by using a chiller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilfire Posted November 4, 2003 Share Posted November 4, 2003 octopus is easier to bloom compare to hammers, tis is my pt of view. i dun think u need a chiller for that so long the temp does not go beyond 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member DrJekyl_MrHyde Posted November 4, 2003 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 4, 2003 by the way 27-28 temp ....can keep octopus coral..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilfire Posted November 5, 2003 Share Posted November 5, 2003 by the way 27-28 temp ....can keep octopus coral..... should not be a problem. but dun let the temp go beyond that. if u dun hav a chiller, juz make sure ur fan is constantly running.
