Ollie, Astounding tank. Oh to have just one of those corals, but I'm just getting going.

Can you help me here? From the article:

My feeding regime usually consists of two cubes of Mysis/brine shrimp added daily with additional flake food, Cyclop-eeze and phytoplankton. Many of the corals are target fed with sliced silversides.

Yet nitrates are zero. How do you manage both? Thanks.. Andy

Hello zoereef
I feed 2 cubes every other day !!! and i feed flake food every 6 days instead of the frozen.The silversides are feed to the brains scoly's one or twice a week and when i do feed the frozen it's also feed to the corals(sun corals etc) as well as the fish.
Hope this helps
Ollie

What coral is that is that a yellow sun coral and how do you take care of it I had one put it did not keep ?
Also I am newbee so what do you feed every one in the tank to grow?

Olliereefer · #61 06/27/2006, 02:52 PM

Hello fishtk75
Yes the yellow coral is a sun coral (pic 5)and i feed it brine shrimp and mysis and i try to feed every polyp.These do require feeding every other day to stay healthy and to bloom for most of the day every day.
Also good water perameters are a must.
Hope this helps you out.
Ollie

Looks like I need to ditch my MH's !

I agree--wow under 200W of light is astonishing!!!
