I found a aquarium store in my local area that was moving shop and, as a result had a whole bunch of corals they were trying to get rid of. I snatched about 5 montiporas + a polyp coral and another of which I am unsure of the name of at present all for $60.00. Admittedly they apparently haven't been paying a huge amount of attention to these species so they looked a little lacking but, they have made a great addition to my tank (all a similar red colour). I have attached a few pics and, I am quite chuffed about how far the tank has come since I started it 5 weeks ago. The funny thing is my skimmer isn't skimming that much .... yet nitrates, phosphates, ammonium, nitrite all remain at 0 (except for nitrate). I have been feeding the fish/corals rotifers and brine shrimp.
above is a picture of the Frogspawn coral growing really nicely (very easy coral to keep in your tank) and, also attached a picture of the polyp corals I picked up (Zoanthus sp.) which also seem like quite an easy species to get growing well. I have of course been adding a trace elements + calcium and iodine.
Peace out
