I disagree that tabling acros are easy to keep. I was able to have pretty much every kind of sps thrive expect for those. I could never get any of my efflos to really take off.

By the way that tank you posted is one of my very favorites. ]]> Fri, 31 May 2013 10:47:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524997&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524997 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524819&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524819 Author: Mark Peterson

Cuong, I am not sure where you've heard that they are difficult to keep? They are actually very hardy compared to other sps. Only thing I can think of is that those who are having a hard time with them is because they have wild pieces. Find yourself an aquacultured piece and it'll grow great and fast actually. ]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 20:12:41 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524814&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524814 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524782&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524782 Author: Cuong

Mark I saw a picture of this tank
http://reefbuilders.com/2012/02/20/pontyandao-reef-tank/


I think it's such a beautiful tank and want to mimic it. It makes a interesting build. I want to try something new and hopefully be successful at it and of course and suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Billyc,

I heard those are very difficult to keep and will try it do you happen to have one and if so how is it doing?

Danh,

Thanks I will have to wait a little bit longer trying to get everything stabilized right now. Hopefully my containers will come in soon so I can hook up my doser.]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 17:12:42 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524782&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524782 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524773&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524773 Author: DanhNgo

Cuong,

I have a nice Tri Color acro and it's tabling nicely in my tank. I'll get a frag of it (no charge).

Look for Acropora hyacinthus.

Sarmentosa may also give you the desired effects. ]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 16:13:48 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524769&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524769 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524767&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524767 Author: Cuong

Thanks for the input. Can't wait to get the red planet those are nice. As for the efflo those are nice and spendy but beautiful.]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 16:02:38 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524767&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524767 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524766&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524766 Author: Mark Peterson

Aloha Cuong,

Seems like I remember hearing that some of the Acropora common in the hobby, that in the ocean grew in a tabling form, in our tanks just grow branches.
From what I remember, there we two reasons:
- lack of powerful full spectrum sunlight which in the ocean causes coral to grow a denser skeleton
- lack of natural wave turbulence which makes coral grow a stronger skeleton

I'm not sure I would want all tabling coral anyway. The shade causes a bare area underneath the coral. Examples of this in the hobby are the plating Montipora.

Just my 2 cents,
Mark

to my understanding (which isn't much mind you.) Most of the efflo's are tabling acros. However, they are spendy. I just spent $150 for a inch frag a couple months ago... ouch]]> Wed, 29 May 2013 12:30:05 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=64612&PID=524730&title=tabling-acropora-tank#524730
