Very nice! How do your coral like the coral frenzy?

apelaston · « **Reply #4 on:** October 06, 2008, 17:37:19 »

Things open up better w thd coral frenzy than marine snow but i think the dts gets me more growth n color. . .even from my fish.

i am upgrading my lights this weekend from 4x65w pc lighting to 4x96w pc lighting so i am hopefully going to notice some color and growth changes in the next month or so. . . . am also adding a few pieces of sps to add some solidity to the look of my tank. . . it is going to continue to be mostly lps and softys though cause i love that movement they bring to the display. . . i will post pictures 1 month from when i put them on my tank to see if the difference is noticable. *crosses fingers*

quicksilver · « **Reply #20 on:** November 05, 2008, 10:47:03 »

Midwest Express · « **Reply #21 on:** November 05, 2008, 11:38:44 »

I had the same thing with my xenia I got from Lazy... I ended up finding it a few days later attached to the back of a rock. Thankfully it was a small rock it attached to so I was able to move it so that I can actually see it.

apelaston · « **Reply #22 on:** November 05, 2008, 13:07:31 »

Birdsnest was never found again. . just rubble and glue residue. . . . . i will get another one soon. all my other sps peices are doing really well so i am going to get some nicer frags at the next swap or from ndr

Thx had to push reefers pic further down the page. . thread hijacker haha.

JoeAyers · « **Reply #27 on:** December 04, 2008, 09:48:43 »

What are you feeding that blueberry? I assume you are heavily target feeding? They have very low survival rates so I hope you have a good plan in place.

reefer3737 · « **Reply #28 on:** December 04, 2008, 17:09:14 »

that looks great what are feeding

apelaston · « **Reply #29 on:** December 04, 2008, 18:50:03 »

I target feed daily w dts, coral frenzy and phyto feast. i rotate them. also i rotate 6 types of food (frozen only) i have it in high flow to help keep it free of algea which i read will grow on it. it took 3 days to open up but now stays bout 90 percent open at all times. only time will tell if i am going to be able to keep it alive.

scott wilson · « **Reply #30 on:** December 05, 2008, 09:45:10 »

I would watch out with two clown pairs in the tank. When they reach sexual maturity they will get very territorial over the other pair.

apelaston · « **Reply #31 on:** December 05, 2008, 10:29:14 »

I got that taken care of it didnt take long for them to get mean. i now have one percula and the black occelaris.

apelaston · « **Reply #32 on:** December 08, 2008, 19:45:01 »
