I've had a blue sponge for over a year and a half and it is spreading like crazy. It sits underneath an overhang in my aquarium. Beautiful colour as well.

Yes DENDROS need minimal light... but require heavy feedings. Several times a week or they will perish.

My first salt tank was only 30W T8 and I had all sorts of softies and LPS growing well. Zoas included.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

HA HA! I have never tried Dendros but know folks who failed feeding time.

Any pics of yours Newb? I love Dendros. Colors are awesome!
