So tonight I am going to mix up a paste of zooplankton and cyclopeeze and spot feed the flower pot and other filter feeders to see if that helps.
How often would you recomend doing this?
If it was mine, I would feed it once a day or every other day until I was fairly certain that the coral was responding to the food; it will. After that, it shouldn't need to be fed that often.

In time, you may be able to notice the natural feeding cycle of the coral........when it is hungry and ready to accept food......when it isn't very hungry and doesn't really take in much.

[B]Okay, this is the best it has looked since we brought it home as we have never seen it "extending" this much!

This picture was just taken under the MH's and in it's new location, away from heavy flow.

What do yall think??

One Month Ago JULY '05

Here is a pic of ours. The plan is to keep it happy healthy for a very long time. Goni happens to be the queen of the tank, holding center stage, and brings a smile to me daily.

My alveopora is kept under 250 10 K MH's...I have had it over a year and a half and it has grown quite a bit.
My favorite pic of it

What I'd like to know is how does a guy meet a future wife that loves the hobby. I thought that was more impossible to find than keeping Goni?

Funny enough, I (Jen) am the one who takes the time to keep up on the Goni's. So, not only did Kerry marry someone who loves the hobby, he even got a wife that takes care of Goni's! Yea, us ladies are a slim few, but we are out there.
