SRC Member Copperband Posted June 17, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted June 17, 2010 some of the SPS corals keepers mention that their underside is often white/paler colour due to no light at that place.... it will be slightly beneficial if there is abit of reflective lite down there..... to maintain the colours... Not sure of the exact science though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terryz_ Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 hmmm... good point.. This point have been lurking around in the reefing society as long as when i started reefing.. Maybe even longer... But it might be a small effects becos it is not taken much into consideration by SPS keepers as you can see, most of them go barebottom(supposed thought to be more reflective)...

Their spawning time will be before lights off. They need time to get accustomed to each other 1st. Pump them with food like mysid shrimp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pump them with food like mysid shrimp. Thanks... Guess I am too impatient.. LOL... My last pair took 6 months before spawning but they are a normal brown kind... The male is eating mysis but no reaction from the female... Female just pecking around... Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "glued" them together using cement... Most of them a medium size... Saw your post, I like your scaping but with my limited space, giving me some ideas now.. The two glass side that is not used for view at the end will be fixed with the aquascaping foam to give the reef wall feel... Member of: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So only need to clean 1 side.. There are much more space in between.. Will get a magnet cleaner later stage when the algae come attacking.. LOL..
