[Mc]

Its just the photo they haven't actually touched each other.

[Mc]

Heres a FTS unfortunately the sun is still sleeping but everything else is awake.

Looks amazing. Love the scaping. they cave looks wicked. Looks like you are enjoying the leds as much as I am.

[Mc]

Im enjoying them almost as much as my corals are.

[Braco]

Good Set up..Well Done...Nice Diversity..

FTS is great. Like the colors as well. Is that Zenia at the bottom in the middle?

[Mc]

No its called a sea pen(Cavernularia obesa), it was a bit of an impulse buy as I couldn't find any info on them at the time, but it seems to be doing well. It is one of the only species of sea pen that has been succesfully kept in aquariums. It burys itself completely in the sand at night, and is also non-photosynthetic. It is a really strange thing, will try get a nice picture of it.

Here it is.

[Mr T]

The tank looks really great on these small tanks you should just monitor it regularly and please change the protein skimmer. I had one of these and was forced to change the skimmer.

I wish you all the best

Its liquid, a brightwell product called zooplanktos-m and I use another one of their liquids called reef snow once or twice a week, I know some people on here aren't the biggest fan of these but my coral seem too ove it, I also feed it frozen mysis and cyclopeze.

At one of the non sponsor pet shops in boksburg don't think im supposed to mention them on the forum, but I don't think they have any at the moment. It only cost R295.
Remind me after its settled down a bit and im sure I can frag it, it looks like quite an easy coral to frag. What gorgonian do you have?

[Tremayn]

I would love to tell you I have some special method but I really don't, I can only tell you what I do.
I feed Zooplanktos-m every second day with a few drops of reef snow directed at the heads of the sun, as well as vitamin enriched brine but that more for the fish, Every other day I just feed the fish flakes.
On saturdays I feed frozen cyclopeze and mysis shrimp and on wednesdays cyclopeze and dwarf angel food. When I put the food in I put my small pump on so it can move through the water for about 20 minutes before I put the main pumps back on. Once a week I do a 15L water change using red sea coral pro salt and thats about all I can tell you.
