    With a coral tank can music be played load? Does loud music affect the coral?
    I’ve asked you in another video about this and asked about jellyfish too,
    Does loud music (edm) repetitive bass damage jellyfish and coral?

    • @ReefDudes
      @ReefDudes  5 років тому +1

      If you see them spawn I would just turn off the return pump for an hour or so. As for carbon I don’t think so as I have some on both tanks. I broadcast feed the tank but will spot feed the babies to ensure they get food

Is a 10 gallon nano to small due to the fact they cruise around, also My tank has been cycled for 4 months now. I heard I had to have a mature tank, is that true. I found a person that I want to make an order from anway and he has some good price beautys. I do hope to have some babies too and hope they self propagate!

I cant afford 5th generation radions so thinking either 4th or 3rd generation or kessil or ai. Might go with used as well. One thing I like about my current is hardly no disco ball effect.
