I had jewel and moon for the past 6 months and they are growing.

I feed them twice a week with liquid marine and sea plankton. photoperiod is 10 hrs a day on T5.

One thing I observed, when the moon came to me from a friend, it look thin and faded even though she fed the same food too, minus the T5. Now both the moon and jewel are always displaying thier full splendor. I guess lighting plays an important factor no matter how good stuff you can feed them with.

right u r hotlemond...lights very important

qmor, since hotlemond on 10hours i think u should try somewhere like 8 hrs if the power of yr lights is similar to his

qmor, jus like hotlemond said, do remember the phyto and zoo plankton foods

cos jewels depend on lights and these plankton foods

Jewels, Gionoporas and hte like are not very suitable for marine tanks.
