Gasp! Z. desjardini in a 18" tank! ;)

[Delphinus]

Thanks guys!

Hi Marc, lighting on this tank is 2x250W (10k) on for 10 hours flanked by 2x110W VHO actinics on for 12 hours.

I don't go out of my way to feed the gorgs but I do put in cyclops-eeze every day or two and the gorgs will catch some (as well as just about everyone in the tank, cyclops is like candy or something). Every now and again I might shoot a turkey baster blast of cyclops at the gorgs just for the novelty of seeing them catch a whole bunch.

I have, um .. I think 4 types of gorgs right now (might be 5, but 2 of them might be the same, I'm not 100% sure), and they're all photsynthetic so I think they don't really "need" to be fed, per se. The non-photosynthetic ones, although they sure look nice, are slightly beyond my means to care for at this time so I try to steer away from them (I'll just crater my tank if I try feeding filter feeders, surely I've overfeed or something). I think the photosynthetic ones are just as nice and are sure easier to please.

We'll have to one day arrange some trades or something. I'd be happy to send a few pieces out your way.

I'll try to get some close up shots of the gorgs posted soon, that's sort of my next photo project.
