Any website to learn about sps

[fas917]

I am new to sps so I would like to read and know about their lighting, flow, and other requirements. Any one know of any web sites where I can read about them. Thanks in advance.

hey

your in one!!!. jk. alot of people here are experienced with
SPS, just ask your question in the general discussion, and start a discussion. perhaps other's are thinking the same question. You can also check the care requirements on websites such as www.Liveaquaria.com

LOL...thanks Albert, but this is too broad a topic. There are 100s of sites on 100s of different SPS species. Like you said, I'd start with books.

Thanks guys, I have been reading on liveaquaria, RC and reef.org. I have a book, but I am looking for sites with pictures so that I can have a visual reference and learn to ID them.

Dean, can you send me some links plz?

SPS books can be helpful sometimes but there is nothing like seeing SPS systems in person. Taking a close look at the plumbing, seeing the brightness of lighting, getting a feel for the flow by seeing coral polyps move around, seeing a quality skimmer in action, observing coral colors etc...That will be your best learning experience.

That's not a bad idea Jackson. Anyone willing to show me their tank?? If you want I can come with my camera equipments to photograph all your tank contents. I do photography on the side. I mean my other hobby beside reefing.

Fas..you could check out my tank tmrw when you come by. Nothing special about it and I've got hardly any SPS but its a start...and intially this tank was going to be an SPS playground but turned into a Zoa/soft/LPS tank instead.
