Do you mostly just let your corals grow and battle it out or do you trim things back ?

fishfanatic06 · #12 02/18/2007, 10:08 PM

On totm he says he trims them.

Kieth
Some corals get along just fine and some others dont...in this case I will relocate the coral where it can be w/ other coral and the ones that grows rapid ... gets the trimings.

fishfanatic06 · #14 02/18/2007, 10:10 PM

Do dose anything for coral food? Like phyo, zooplankton?

I used to but I find that is not nessesary w/ the kind of attention I give my tank. To me sea food soup is more than enough to keep a healthy tank and i make sure the levels does not bounce around too much.

menard · #25 02/20/2007, 09:45 PM

gasman059..........w/ my camera the colors does'nt came out right its much vibrant than that.............Peace
