Spidey Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Hi, I have a goniopora that I have been feeding Coralife Invertebrate Target food and Aquaz supreme mix. I was wondering what you guys feed to your goniopora, especially those who managed to keep it alive for > 1 year? Care to share? Thanks. *Note* I have read the articles by Albert J. Thiel and Julian Sprung. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 4th link was what I am afraid will happen eventually. Mine is not open as fully as before. Do you think phytoplankton alone is enough to sustain the coral? How long have you guys been keeping this coral? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAV-65 Posted November 13, 2004 Share Posted November 13, 2004 Bro, they'll do better when they have trace elements of molydenum and maganese... So very often when you dose trace elements, they get wat they need.... but just keep a lookout for these 2 elements when buying trace elements...

SRC Member Chefri Posted November 14, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted November 14, 2004 I ever fed with artemia with syringe and deliver it to his tentacle and his tentacle caught them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 14, 2004 Author Share Posted November 14, 2004 ermmm, so you test for molybdenum and strontium? Or just dose by approximation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAV-65 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I ever fed with artemia with syringe and deliver it to his tentacle and his tentacle caught them. Bro, they will capture the artemia, but dat buy itself would not be sufficient to sustain their life... after a period of time, they start receding...

So use a broadbased trace element additive that would enhance the entire system... Quote People do not plan to fail; Often they just fail to plan...
