Newbie SPS

[JizzHut]

Hello and Good Morning, I've recently started keeping SPS and was wondering if there are any more "easy" to keep SPS besides birdnest monti? i was looking forward in getting some SPS from GO but got really confuse. was looking thru GO list of SPS but have no idea which SPS i can try to keep.

Can anyone advice me on which are they hardy ones among the SPS family?

Thank you.

You go to Cedic's house and buy...

He can recommend you all types of easy corals he have..

You will need a couple of hours to choose.. see n see but dun know wat to buy..

Will want to bring them all home..

One of the easy one is Sunset Milli..

Hi bro, I think if u can keep birdnest and monti then your water parameter should be more or less ok. Should be able to try other kind of SPS like milli,...etc. I feel keeping them not so diffcult maintain the colour is the difficult part. Like my tank can maintain most of the blue and purple SPS but come to red then cannot liao.

Cedric place is a good place to go also. His frag all very stable and at best colour already, easier to start and maintain.

IMO,

Birdnest and monti is more easily

then the rest

You can try staghorn too~.

So should i still get something from GO this coming SPS shipment? hmmmm

Bro if u dun mind waiting can try out small frags of sps 1st. There's a reefer gg to rescrape as his sps have grown out too much, can get some advice from him too.

What u mean kana fined? Where u park your car?

It is better to buy Cedric's sps, it is more stable then u buy in any LFS.

Suceed rate is 99.9% more higher compare to LFS that is why I prefer.

Sps when arrive during shipment from LFS may be injured, starved or dead but coloured flesh still cover nicely.

Suceed rate may be low like 50%. "Pls correct me if im wrong.."

Unless u buy one that is already there for at least a month.. or weeks maybe..

Hmmm not so bad la, Just that maybe the colour will be off a bit due to shipment. GO is known for their premium coral so most of their coral are healthy.

If all SPS wait for a month or weeks to buy then there will be no one chiong during shipment day liao.

Thanks bro for the kind and constructive comments

Beside the parking fine issue, I think most bros enjoy their time at my place

I think Singapore LFS has a significant role in contributing to the reefing scene here. Without them, we reefers wouldnt have access to all thses beautiful corals around the world, we need to pay tribute to them

As to whether LFS or home-base corals, hahaa..i really think this is a non-issue at all.

IMHO I realised that most bros who bought frags generally enjoys the convinience of having to buy their favourite sps/zoas frags which LFS may not have stock or no access at all. In such cases, home base frags meets their need to obtain their particular favourite zoas/sps.

For example, Purple Death is one of zoas collectors favourite colltion, till now I have not heard of any LFS who has brought in any of such shippment. The spread of this beautiful zoas is only make possible via hard-core reefers who has taken the risk to order them from oversea and risking DOA / time and effort. Now Purple Death is available to reefers at affordable price.

As to the issue of success rate, I agree with mini-reefer and mengyang that home base frags can be alot easier to keep but shippment corals can be equally good. The advantages of a colourful frags are stable and usually pest free...but hor prepare to pay at a higher price lor

At the end of the day, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are always so many reason why ppl do things, let the market force decide...anyway imo, LFS corals and home base frags meets different needs

haha.. we treat u as LFS long ago anyway....
