*****I have never kept SPS******
So I’m thinking of putting some SPS sticks in the new nano….. easy, less demanding ones like Monitpora, Pocillipora, Seriatopora, or Stylophora. All placed at the top of the rockwork as there are only T5 lights. The rest of the tank is going to be LPS.
1- Are 4 T5 lights enough for these and get decent colour?
2- With these lights do the corals need to stay at the top or can some be placed mid-way?
3- Flow rate: There is a Maxijet 1200 for the return and a a Tunze nano stream for flow. Is that enough?
4- Are some of the mentioned corals easier/more forgiving than the others?
5- Are there other SPS you might recommend that would work for this setup?
Keep in mind that I’m quite successful keeping Ca/Mg/Alk and other parameters very stable from previous tanks.
