Why yes I do but I need new brakes...... to get to work to make money to feed this hobby addiction.

Hermits crawl on corals and they eat the small Stomatella so I only like small ones.

Hey Alex.

I did not know this but it makes sense.

Thank you I love them too.

No anemones, in a small tank it's either anemones or sps hard to have it both ways and not loose sleep over a walking anemone, because eventually they will.

Thank you Eric.

Tanks always look so much better with some purple.

Hi Mr. Bill,

Actually I am thinking Firefish. I have and have had damsels, mean little buggers.

Hey Daniel,

Thank you, still dialing in. One Millepora did not like the rise in Ca to 400 and Alk to 10.8 had to back down to keep all happy.

 

Tank looks good and will only improve as your corals fill out.

 

Right now, I have my alk at about 11 and ca at 460......everything seems to be happy go lucky

 

Agreed. I think the tabling corals near the surface look very cool.

Is there such a thing as an "easy" tabling coral?

 

Red Planet is the easiest I know of.

Efflo is another popular tabling acro but I have not kept it so I do not know how hardy it is.

GARF's will table out eventually.

 

awesome, one day i swear it one day when ill know 300% what im doing im going to grow corals just like that, just you wait and see

 

I am telling you, corals are easier than Copper Banded Butterfly Fish.

 

Your tank is always so nice to look at. In a year or two when mine starts filling in I'll be happy I started with a 75... For now I'm kicking myself cause it looks so naked.
Do you hand feed your palys/zoas or just let them take food out of the water column?

 

Thank you.

The Palys will take food. On a rare occasion I will see a zonathid, but I read zonathids receive the majority of their nutrition via zooxanthellae and up take of organic matter via fluid exchange.

So no I do not directly feed them.

 

Ok Thanks
In trying to not over feed my tank I've been target feeding everything just a little bit with a Baster, fish and coral. I have some pink palys that are temperamental and I can't quite figure out if they want to be fed or not. Too much attention they wilt, not enough they wilt. I'll get it right one day
