jcasisa Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Fellow reefers, I found this information on the web and was wondering if, in general, you agree with the placement of corals as prescribed by this chart? Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJohnson Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think Xenia can grow anywhere. I grew some under a 6500k home depot light. Sent from my XT1045 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 I think any generalizations in this hobby should be taken with a grain of salt. These are animals and not all temperaments and genetics of these animals are the same. There can be significant variances within a species and between individuals when it comes to lighting, flow, and where they thrive best in an aquarium. The environment will also have an impact on how they react. I say this table might be good for very broad generalizations, but I wouldn't consider it the end-all.

haze152 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I agree with gig'em. Define extremely high light. Lighting, flow, water per, lighting length. Unfortunately no 2 tanks are exactly the same what works for some will not work for others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I also agree with Gigs. The main discrepancy with low, medium, high categories is that they mean something different to everyone. Low light to me is 50-100 PAR, medium is 100-200 and high is 200+. I've seen enough to know that some people think differently about light. I don't agree with most of the recommendations on the chart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze152 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I am on the same page as you with par. In my 75 and 125 gallon I had plenty of acros at 125-200 with great growth and color. And nitrates at or less then 10ppm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haze152 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Good example this 5 dollar stylo frag from ty was at 125 par for almost 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 I often research the reason why something has a difficulty rating and usually ignore it. I don't understand why they label something easy or difficult. Is it in relation to each other? If that were the case then how could a plating montipora be easy and a flower pot be difficult? Maybe it's in relation to the degree of lighting and flow, but then how is a plate coral medium, medium, difficult? I'm pretty sure these charts are made by the same people naming zoanthids.
