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 :P

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

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 .. :lol:

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 :yeah:

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 !! :D

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

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

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 :)

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 :lol:

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

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 .. :yeah:

after that hopefully it looks like my 1st colony
