Hey everyone...
I'm really getting into acros now, and it's pretty overwhelming the amount of awesome corals in this species. There's so many threads with awesome pics!
I was wondering if anyone had any advice to a guy just getting into SPS about collecting them, I.e. what would you want to tell yourself when you first started collecting SPS (avoid these colors, stay away from these types...)
I have two 60" x 24" tanks at this point, and i'm planning on using 75% or so of the space for SPS.
So far, I have the following for roughly a month, and have had no deaths yet:
Orange Passion
Walt Disney
Bill Murray
Oregon Tort
Miyagi Tort
JF Flame
PC Rainbow
Rainbow Loom
Vivid Confetti
Blue Staghorn
AD Phoenix Monti
JF Beach Bum Monti
I also have roughly 12 other "no namers". Some are def growing faster than others (the staghorn is an insanely fast grower). Tort is also taking off.
My favorites by far are the top three (Orange Passion, WD, and Bill Murray)... The colors are awesome. All of the following are on my "wishlist":
I know there are some really expensive ones on there, my plan is to not really touch those until 6 months + of success with what I have. Anyways, what would you tell your "younger SPS self" about how to start your acro collection?
Thanks!
