New Aquascape... What should I do

Featured Replies

With the corals in my tank while I move rocks? Obviously it'll stir up a bit of crap. Will the corals be alright in the tank or should I take them out and put them in some buckets (with tankwater) and return them to the tank once the rocks have been moved? Dont wanna stress them anymore than required

Cheers

Unless you are doing a MAJOR re-arrangement, I'd leave them in the tank and try to not stir too much crud around, then swoosh some water over them once you are done to get the settled sediment off them.

It is major rearrangement, I plan on syphoning underneith the rocks so they basically will have to come out of the tank for 10 mins

The corals I will leave in the tank :)

i normally do a side as a time if I do that on my tank.. Move corals to right, do what needs doing on rocks on left, then move corals to left and do what is needed on right...

Take them out and put them in a bucket of water, no issue at all,

Hard to landscape with corals in a tank. you will do more damage.

Actually Reef, just a question about corals sliming up after transit, is it safe to give them a quick wrinse in freshwater, or not, i've heard conflicting reports..

Never rinse in fresh water., will stress them even more.

just put them in and give them good current,

many coral will slime after transport.

Left them in the tank (keep in mind I've only got 5 of them, and they're all relatively new so none have spread to big pieces of rock) and all are happy this morning by the looks of things. Even Mr Starki who went into hiding after moving everything came out to say Hi and his body language said "gonna feed me?"
