    Well, for me, gonio is my source of "early warning system", when it does not open, time to do water change

    Yeah same. Just judge by the coral can liao. :P

    Just found out mine gonio is starting to grow back into its bare area. Those area has been there since i got it and now tiny 'flowers' are starting to appear there.

    I guess its an easy/difficult coral depending on individual tank.

    Like for my tank, everything can be well but i can never keep open brains...

    Kept dying after a few months. <_<

    The one in my tank now is my second.

    What i learned is that once u put yur gonio in a position never move it again.

    Seems like they receed very fast after a few tumbles and moves.

    hey travy, i realized that high temp also causes coral bleached. so, beside water parameter and lighting, do watch out for temp. normal temp for any coral range from 26-28 deg celcius.

    u wanna nurse my green prata back to it health :P

    HAHAHA! CAN~!

    You gimme ah? When? I go collect! :D:P

    Ohh...

    I just shfted mine to a low flow area too. Looks better now at least the 'mantle' is more puffy.

    But its mouth is still open. Tried to feed but the pieces of shrimp kinda drop out of the mouth. It didnt show any reaction towards it. <_<

    Hey guys, wanted to start a thread to get bros/sis to share their experience to help Bleached LPS recover. Would be good to share this particular piece of information.

    ALSO... Just got a bleached prata from a friend and intending to nurse it back to health.... HEEE ;)

    And also... do emphasize on TLC (tender LOving Care) if u put it down as a method ho.... :P

    Thanks tons!

    Well i guess its really up to individual system.

    I known guys who not only kept theirs well maintain, the coral even spread and start to encrust nearby rocks.

    From him, he say a berlin sysytem works best for this type of corals, And also a tank which is slightly underskimmed is prefered too.

    I have mine for about 8mths. No particular problems. Havent spread yet but stll open up eveyday even when my pair of clown fishes are using it as host and looks healthy (Full) too).

    :off: I dont know abt u guys... but i notice they do catch small pieces of food. Had witness it caught and eat small shreds of shrimp and clam meat when i feed my fishes. Had anyone notice this b4 too?

    Bro, Trust the guys here u need more live rocks, much much more then what u have it should at least come up to about 2/3 of yur main tank to kick start the 'berlin' since u dont have a sump. ANd its also a good idea to invest in a protein skimmer esp if yur going FOWLR, prop u want alot of fishes. :D Esp tangs! They create ALOT of waste...

    Try reading up on past threads we all have posted, will help alot! I learn from there too! ;)

    Great job for getting the fishes feeding. Most Tangs r rather easy after they adapt to the tank. U can try having a YT or PT they r pretty easy and common.

    And the zoos i think they are melting away due to insufficent lights. U can either upgrade yur lights or give the zoos away la. Save u the trouble to change water like mad should their demise... :ph34r:

    IMO overhead wet/dry systems r not really suitable for marine. Yes Ammonia nirites didnt appear but it'll contribute to rising NO3 (Nirates) in the future. Its a heap load of headaches trust me. ;)

    Why do you reef?

    Van Cleef Aquarium was always my favour outing with my family when i was young. since than i always wanted to have an ocean in my house when i grow up. so, marine is always my passion since i was in primary school and Van Cleef Aquarium played a big part of my interest :rolleyes:

    Yeah those where the days.

    I remembered the huge electric eels by the entrance (i think its up the stairs...)

    But Mainly fresh water hor... dont really remember seeing marines... Can recall a huge tank with marine angels... but dunno if its there... <_<
