Re: Frogspawn

I got a "Branching FrogSpawn" shortly after getting a new light fixture shortly after setting up my tank last January. It requires at least PC lights just like mushrooms or easy zoas require.

I run my main light for 8 hours and actinics for 10 hours.

I have all 3 of the Euphyllia (Torch, Hammer and FrogSpawn) and they are of my favorite corals. Just keep in mind they can sting and some times it's a fairly painful sting (much like a bee sting) so give them room and respect. They also have the ability to send out "Sweeper Tentacles" which are merely longer and aggressive tentacles with the sole purpose of stinging and potentially killing other near-by corals. Just be sure to place them FURTHER than you'd think they need to be from corals.

Good luck and enjoy your new FrogSpawn and don't try to feed it. You'll just end up polluting your tank for no reason. It's mostly photosynthetic (makes food from your lights) with some filter feeding activity.

Live Rock Rubble will do the SAME thing as Bio-Balls and is NOT a suitable replacement for BIO-BALLS in a Reef System! It's ALL gotta go!!

Nitrate (NO3) reduction is directly proportional to percentage of Water Change.
Allen's home-made formula...(-NO3=WC%)
This means if you change 50% of your total water volume (That's EVERYTHING) you'll get a net reduction of (NO3) somewhere around 50%.

Ask me about how to increase your REEF budget without going without FOOD!!
