***Tr@vis' 90 Gallon*** Back from Reefapalooza Oh Boy!!!! 10/21/12

I noticed a big turn around on the Bleeding Apple when I actually started to spot feed him. I usually don't spot feed my LPS and it all does fine but for some reason he started to diminish after a few months in the tank. I thought that I was going to lose him, he was all sucked inward and just had his mouth and hardly any tissue around him. I made an effort to get him to eat and after a few failed attempts at feeding he finally showed me some feeder tentacles. I started off by feeding him a couple of mysis every other night. Then his tissue started to inflate back up and start to cover the dead skeleton. Now he constantly wants to eat and I feed him twice a week now. Just weird because I have a warpaint scoly that i never did have to feed and did fine in the tank. I have opted to feed that warpaint the past couple of months and he is gigantic though now. :-/ Freaking coral, never know what they are up too.....

 

Thanks bud, thats probably my main issue, I have a pretty low nutrient tank.... well you know other than the algae. I appreciate it.

 

No problem, just start spot feeding away. I too have a very low nutrient system. I've been using the same LR for about 4 years in three different systems and it looks like it just got done curing, clean as can be. :-/ That is why I no longer run GFO and Carbon. Just letting my over sized skimmer and my fuge do the nutrient work now.

 

Ditto my rock is 8-12 year old depending on the peice

 

Wow that is some old LR.

 

Glad to see the photos turned out for you. They still don't do your tank justice...

Thanks for the frags and the free view!

 

Thanks Lucas! The photos are wonderful and I'm glad you are enjoying those frags!
