I have 1 400 watt 14K MH in a 24" deep tank.

Danny--I have a green brain that's relatively high up and receives lots of light, with low-moderate flow. Did we read somewhere recently that red brains like less light? It seems to me like we did (I think in my blastomussa thread).

Maybe you could put him in someone else's tank with lower lighting (say, PC or VHO or lower MH) and see how it does? Mine is fully open during the day and then closes up at night, with all it's feeding tentacles (or whatever you'd call them) out.

feeding?
 
Do you guys direct feed your brains and if so how often?

About once a week, after I feed my tank the tentacles start coming out,
I blow some mysis over mine.

It's quite rare for me to target feed anything but once in a blue moon I do.

Der_Iron_Chef 01-14-2007 07:28 PM

I target feed mine mysis roughly once a week.
