Pappone

They're not eating the food itself, although sometimes I do see a coral shag on some cyclopeeze and mysis. Its usually the blended parts the food... the smaller food particles if you will...

Rods food has similar ingredients to Pappone but not the same recipe

I usually feed the phyto, roti, and oyster eggs every other day.

Bebo77 · #18 08/30/2007, 11:23 PM

i hear ya.. this is a very expensive hobby... and to that Zeo is really only worth it if you are an SPS fiend..

xfragmanx · #19 08/30/2007, 11:29 PM

well my girlsfriends dad has 36 fish breeding tank set up right now . all of them full or saddle back maroon clowns black and with osci's and percs , everything.

him and i are talking about starting something. I have always had great luck with coral and decided to try and make some money or alot of money off of it. but we all have dreams.

eagleONE · #20 08/31/2007, 12:17 AM

just keep in mind, zeo is not a magic bullet. I'd put it on hold. Its kind of a double edge sword, if your not ready, you can lose a lot.

xfragmanx · #21 08/31/2007, 12:58 AM

o really thanks eagle. didnt think about that. it sounds like the zeo is a steriod for SPS.
