Travy, my tank LS

[Qxnviolet]

Nice suns, are sun corals hard to keep? What kind of lighting do they require and is target feeding a must? I love the deep orange colour but afraid that they wun survive in my tank.

Hi ..

I use this tidbit as a guide.. http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=27786

I also don't know how difficult it is to keep these corals .. and I don't measure calcium or other things

as long as my bloodshrimp is happy, I think the rest are happy

If you check out my placement .. I don't really target feed .. since the outlet pipe allows the current to flow directly to the suns ..

My feeding schedule for the sun very simple ..

Scrape a little bit of Henry's mix and pour near the outlet .. within 15 minutes all the suns will be open .. and then I feed the fish .. the floating bits will be blown by the outlet to the suns .. and that's how they feed

When I target feed .. once I'm done, the blood shrimp will come out and steal the mysis.. now trying to settle into the rhythm of only target feed during weekends.. (since not all the polyps capture the floating bits)

Good luck !!

BTW I have a relatively new tank .. so I think its not really difficult .. just troublesome since I have to target feed now ..

Hi bro .. congratulations .. on getting out of the frying pan ..

here's some updates .. think you should go get the sun corals .. really worth it especially when they bloom

While waiting for your rocks ..

rescape the rocks .. abit .. so got a small 'table now to contain the @#$@)#( elephant's ear .. and some zoo and rhodactis .. and my one and only yuma

And for guys curious about the 'red sun' coral from Jireh .. here it is .. though it looks more orangy than red to me ..

poor thing looks sunken compared to my pumped up sun ..

Also got a PBT FINALLY

and a royal gramma

Enjoy folks ..

Just in case .. any comments welcome since the title said Travy .. but not for him only ok

blue/gold blenny ..3 of these .. very cute .. they hop around the corals and rest as such .. greedy buggers will grab a chunk of food and hold it in the mouth forever .. slowly munching while perched on the 'shrooms

[gunzo]

carberi anthias ..

Geez.. now the big bully of the tank is the blue eye anthias

Hi bro... your tank is lovely, the only setback... well, it's your camera la. Get a better one la, it makes the tank look very cloudy and yellowish (which I don't think is the case). Just my 2 cents

my glass dirty n with flash on the auto balance makes it yellowish

i'll clean up the glass I promised

[Bape]

try taking ur photos with flash off. when there's Sufficient lights, there's no need to on flash.

[jervismun]

Also, activate makro coz obviously your pictures are off focus... hehe sorry

[Travy]

Woah... more and more sun corals leh....

Eh Why not make the tank specialise in sun corals? Will Be a Beautiful sight!

Can save on lights and in turn save on the powe consumption for lights Chiller! Heee... A tank full of orange... Yellow... Red Flowers...

Eh post pic on PBT!!

P/s: Live Rocks ah... Lay long Lay long...

[gunzo]

jervis .. mine is a point and shoot .. macro is already on .. out of focus because I turned off the flash and it delayed the shutter speed to allow sufficient light

no need all these jazz funky dandy functions .. this is what a little photoshop can do

Travy .. my PBT just up the lorry this morning .. suspect yesterday did something wrong (overdosed) :cry2:

[gunzo]

this one .. sorry

Jireh last I checked (last week) still have some .. thats where I got mine from

In order for it to look nice you need to pump it up ..

I'm pumping up the poor guys from Jireh right now ..

after that hopefully it looks like my 1st colony
