  10. The 2nd one is a Pachyseris foliosa...
  11. Upz for a nice reefer... Seen this octo, the green is really stunning...
  12. What I see from other forums and experiences, as long as the Nitrate is under control, 10% - 20% once weekly is still fine. Some with high nitrate, they will do 5% small water changes daily until Nitrate is being reduced.
  13. Equipment - Oversize Skimmer - Over size skimmer is a must as Nitrate problem is a very common issue in Azoox due to the immerse amount of food being pumped into the tank daily. Over size skimmer will help ensure to keep Nitrate as low as possible. Feeding Unit - Feeding device such as dosing pump should be in your shopping list. As Azoox coral will require daily frequent feeding, a dosing unit that dose food 24/7 is essential so as to ensure your corals do not starve. Specialized feeding unit is not being mass produced now due to the small market, Most are being DIY or custom made for that function. Biopellets - Biopellets, I feel is a good way to reduce nitrate in azoox tank as the nitrate is a very persistent issue in Azoox Tank. Other Equipments as per normal tank setup.
  14. Feeding - Azoox corals requires daily frequent feedings as they do not produce their own food. There are two type of Azoox, small polyps and large polyps coral. For small polyps azoox corals such as dendronepthyea, scleronepthyea and seafans, they will require small micron food such as phytoplankton and zooplankton. For large polyps azoox corals such as Sun coral and Rhyzo coral, they are able to accept bigger size food such as mysis and cyclopeeze. Because different Azoox coral accept different micron size of food, it is best to mix various different size of food within the feeding regime so that all the different azoox coral will be able to feed on the correct food. Feeding Frequency is also important, It is best to have consistent feeding throughout the day 24/7 as Azoox coral will need feeding consistently. Some food brands that are bring used by Azoox reefers are FaunaMarin, Reef Nutrition, Shellfish Diet, DT Oyster-eggs, TLF and etc.
  15. Water Parameter - N03 - Below 10ppm (Optimal is Undetectable) P04 - Undetectable Temp - 26C - 27C As all corals, Azoox corals do better in water that have undetectable Nitrate and Phosphate. They are able to tolerate higher Nitrate but Phosphate needs to be as low as possible as Algae will tend to grow over Azoox corals such as Seafans and Gorganions causing them to unable to extend their polyps to feed. Azoox tends to do better in cooler water and extends better too. Other parameter can be kept as per normal.
  16. Azoox Corals have been a favorite among reefers due to their coloration but they are known to be difficult to keep alive as they require frequent feeding. Now with the advanced reefing technology and informations about these corals, keeping them is possible with the correct requirement and equipments. Hope that this thread will help reefers who are trying out with these difficult corals. I am not expert in keeping Azoox corals and can only speak from my limited knowledge from my 4 months of experience with them. I will start with a few pointers on what to take note before keeping these corals.
  17. Please on the light and see?
  18. Should i give Lemonpeel a chance?

  19. There is a new forum that is setup specifically for Azoox Corals... Interested reefers could find some information and experiences from there.. Azoox.org
