Brain Question
You all obviously have excellent success keeping brains, what do you feel to be the most important things you do to help your brains flourish? I have a trachyphyllia that I've had for a month now that has never been as open as it was at the LFS. I put the brain directly under the light about half way up the tank when I first got it. It was really extended the first 3 days or so, and then slowly receded over the next week. I read a few posts about brains being sensitive to bright light coming from LFS tanks, so I put it in a shady spot in the tank. It showed a little expansion at first, but this hasn't increased any in the last two weeks. Any ideas? My parameters are:
Amm: 0 ppt Nitrites: 0 ppt Nitrates: < 5 ppt Phosphates: < 0.1 ppt Specific Gravity: 1.025 Alk: ~ 3.0 meq/L Ca: 380 ppm My water source is RO/DI, never checked TDS, but filters are < 4 months old. The tank is 10 gallons w/ 5 gallon sump. Lighting is a 96W 50/50 CF bulb, also < 4 months old. The tank has been up around 4 months. Filtration is protein skimmer. I feed fish (bi-color blenny and maroon clown) once a day with formula 2 flake food or frozen brine shrimp, and corals every 3 days w/ Marine Snow or Coral Vital. I have a number of soft corals (zoanthid, palythoa, mushrooms, cabbage leather, toadstool leather, xenia, kenya tree coral) that are thriving in this tank.
