Nice sun coral. How fast does it grow? Do you give it any special treatment? I just picked up a frag from Dan at our frag swap (4 polyps) and I've finally found a spot it doesn't mind opening up in. Any advice?

feed it is a good start , if its happy it will stay out, they can be trained to stay out all day. feed a variety of foods made for filter feeders plus some meaty treats it will grow quickly:)

reefwars 09-05-2012 06:51 AM

finally got my pipe at the top of the tree covered in zoos now to so no more ugly pipe lol:P


i have so little room for frags anywhere on the tree ive resorted to placing zoa frags in between the branchs of the dendros lol

At the rate you're going you're going to need to 90G.

hes actually maybe a quarter of the size of the one i took out lol

reefwars 09-09-2012 07:41 PM

tuff morning around the tree tops , had to do a sump modification last night so had my sump shut down for the night. added a powerhead to the cube but wasnt enough and my pipe fish,cleaner shrimp and my sexy shrimp died:(


now im just down to the 2 harleys, surprised how tuff they are .when i woke up this morning i noticed the sxey shrimp and the female harley were on the very tips of my yellow gorg which when the return pumps shut off is at water level. i touched the harley and it sprung back to life, the sexii not so much.


no more livestock just the harly pair untill i finish adding what i want to add to the tree.

reefwars 09-09-2012 07:45 PM

to be added today:


japanese goniopora
pipe organ
multi colored plate coral??
blue montipora


removed:green torch(wasnt doing well so moved it to another tank, i put a huge softball sized sunset monti in its place:P



plus:


bunch more zoos i still havent added yet including bam bam colonie and a whack load of deepwaters lol


someone asked me yesterday how many frags are glued to the tree and this morning i counted 118 frags.

guessing still around 20-30 to go.


so many frags and yet so little space:P

gregzz4 09-09-2012 09:21 PM

:sad:

Did you have the powerhead breaking the surface ?

yes sir i did, 2 powerheads both koralia 2 , should have been plenty....had aheater too:sad:

gregzz4 09-09-2012 09:30 PM

Had to ask as that is very strange
I wonder what your pH was before you got the sump running again

So, besides the wet floor, is it all good now ?

SeaHorse_Fanatic 09-10-2012 12:36 AM

That is really surprising that 2 powerheads in a cube is not enough.

yeah , theres not a whole lot of actual water either the tree takes up most the tank im not sure if that would have helped or made it worse?
