Live Coral loves to be pampered - When you buy live corals from Aquatic
Connection, you can be assured you will buy live aquarium corals
that have been pampered and properly cared for. Any live coral
that has been collected and shipped halfway across the globe,
arrives understandably, in need of some rejuvenation. Which is
why we do our best to downright pamper them during their stay.
Whether you are interested in Live Acropora corals, Aquacultured
corals, SPS corals, LPS corals, Mushroom corals, Xenia coral,
Zoanthid corals, Leather corals, or any other Soft coral, their
treatment begins with a slow-drip acclimation to equalize temperature,
ph and alkalinity. Then we place the aquarium coral in our reef
aquarium holding tanks where the water quality is perfect. High
current wave action cleans any built up slime coat and loosens
the sand and bacteria from their long journey. Their polyps begin
to extend and reach out to the available food and light.
Appropriate Coral Lighting - All
aquarium corals are placed in appropriate lighting depending
upon there needs. For low light corals, they are placed under
Power Compacts. On reef aquarium corals that need extreme lighting,
we use only the best Metal Halide 1000-watt, 6,700K metal halide
lighting to which will awaken the sleeping polyps and color enhancing
zooxanthellae. Under these conditions our corals thrive and nourish,
until we send them on their way.
Picking and packaging your aquarium coral
- All live corals shipped out, are chosen with the
most stringent quality controls followed. All corals are packaged
with the utmost care, and carefully labeled to make identification
easier for the beginner aquarist. We ship our corals using Fedex
overnight services, and they are delivered right to your door. |

Special Notes: Please note unless stated within the description,
the picture(s) of the item(s) for sale are generic pictures of
items that we have had in stock at some point. Due to differences
in animals the item you receive may not look identical to the
picture, however we hand choose each item for health and beauty.
Another factor you need to consider is that different aquarium
systems have different lighting, the spectrum of light, the wattage
and kelvin, and even the type of lighting (ie: PC vs. VHO vs
HQI vs Mogul Halide) all will make colors look very different.
Aquatic Connection Live tanks are lit by 400 watt 20K HQI Halide
bulbs. We use these bulbs because it provides the perfect balance
of natural white light along with the deeper actinic blue that
corals need to bring out the correct colors and to thrive off
of. If your tank consists of all daylight (10K's, 65K's etc.)
with minimal actinic lighting, your not going to get as many
of the vibrant true colors from your corals as you would with
the correct lighting combination. If you need better descriptions
of our corals or help with lighting, please feel free to contact
us. |
