Ditto on the rockwork. I wish I had the patience for that. Can't wait to come see it in person (hopefully) :biggrin:

Mike...looks great! One question--how often do you feed your sun coral (I think I spotted one)? And how do you feed it when it's "mounted" upside down like that?

michika 02-23-2007 02:40 PM

Very nice tank!

I used to feed my sun corals every other night or so. You can entice it to open, or wait for it to open on its own before injecting it with mysis, or another meaty food. I used to use a syringe and rigid or semi rigid airline tubing to direct the food right into the tenticles without getting wet. I found mine liked cyclopsis mixed in with meaty foods, and phytoplankton.

Look'n good Mike. So when is the Tank tour?

Thank you very much. I direct feed my sun coral with mysis every 3days. I also use reef roids twice a week, which they all get some of. I also feed everything else twice a day with frozen foods...and yes, I use to have around 20-30 Nitrates in this tank and my previous tank until I started using Reef Resh....now it stays at 0

michika 02-25-2007 03:22 PM

Can you tell me more about Reef Resh? What is is?

Der_Iron_Chef 02-25-2007 03:30 PM

This is what I found on Reef Resh. Looks interesting:

Hi Mike

The tank is looking great. The line for the tour starts behind me. Your rock work is fantastic. When I see the rock work that many of you have done it makes me go down stairs and I immediately start to move my rock around, however it never seems to look like yours. Some of those corals look very familiar. They seem to be doing better in your tank than in mine (Reef Resh / ZEOvit).

I dont know about doing better...but I sure am happy with them! The tank tour kinda fizzled out in the valley I think...not enough people came forward to show their tanks...YET! Just let me know the day you want to come out Tom and Jason...and anybody else...just give me fair warning so I can clean up the fish room!
