3 Saltwater Reefs - Secrets To Successfully Grow Them In Your Acquarium
Usually the owners of saltwater aquariums do not use reefs. This is because the coral had a very short life span when you put one in an aquarium. However, people who have been persistent in their efforts have found an answer to that one. Whatever the skill level that you have, there is a reef or another that would suit you and your aquarium. Whether you are an absolute beginner or a seasoned professional, you will find a reef that will be interesting to work with and within your reach.
1. Zoanthus
This is the common choice of those who are just beginning to add reef to their aquariums. This is a hardy variety that survives in almost any saltwater aquarium. It does not find a meat diet very appealing and you need to give it only finely chopped food. You can get this in many different colors, and many of the owners of aquariums like using it as a filter reef for the temperamental kinds of reef. It is commonly known as the Bottom Polyps and also the Sea Mat.
2. Cladiella
This is yet another great variety to start off with. It is popularly called the Finger Leather or the Colt Coral. It is also widely known for its adaptable nature. If you have one of these coming in, we strongly suggest you make sure that it is securely anchored, or it just will not grow.
3. Siderastrea Coral
This is a soft variety and can withstand changes in the temperature, light and also the Water quality. Usually it is gray or white in color. It is sometimes shaped like a round dome but more commonly, it comes in the shape of a flat plate that could be anywhere between four and twelve inches in diameter. This variety of coral is more commonly known as the Starlet, Pink Starlet or the Lesser Starlet coral.
If you have successfully housed some of these hardier varieties of coral in your aquarium, you could then move on to other delicate varieties. Coral and fish somehow do go together, and some kinds match better with each other. If you are looking to buy some new fish, keep your existing coral category in mind when doing so. Also look out for any unhealthy fish when buying a bunch of new ones. You can tell by looking at their scales, eyes, abdomen, mouth and fins. The fish's eyes should be bright and clear. If there is a hazy layer on the eyes this could mean the fish is suffering from a bacterial infection. Patches on the scales definitely warn you of an internal disease that the fish is dealing with. One with a damaged mouth can lose appetite and become sickly. Look for clean and crisp fins and a firm and rounded abdomen in your fish. Look out for sagging fins as well.
