mogurnda January 6, 2004 Share January 6, 2004 Uploading a pic of the 20 gallon. Most of the corals are free frags from Michael or others in the society, and everything is bigger than in the pic. I'll be decapitating the Sarcophyton before the January meeting if anyone's interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg January 6, 2004 Share January 6, 2004 That is looking really sweet! What will the clowns nestle in when you chop the sarco? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogurnda January 6, 2004 Author Share January 6, 2004 Thanks! The clowns may have to develop a fondness for Xenia for a month or two :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogurnda February 9, 2004 Author Share February 9, 2004 Here are a few more. This is a mushroom and progeny, started from a little one given to me by at the WAMAS frag workshop. I wish I remembered the name of the guy who gave them to me. Brought his nano from Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogurnda February 9, 2004 Author Share February 9, 2004 Thanks! They're low in the 20, under 130 watts of PC lighting. The only thing I add is kalk in the makeup water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest x2minusblndfold February 10, 2004 Share February 10, 2004 hmmmm.. all im adding to my tank is Phytoplankton and Calcium..should i be adding nemore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg February 10, 2004 Share February 10, 2004 Yes- if you are adding calcium- you also need to add some form of buffer- kalk (aka lime water) has both parts in it. The other thing you should be adding is food Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogurnda February 10, 2004 Author Share February 10, 2004 The other thing you should be adding is food Oops, I add that. Alternate different kinds of frozen food, but I don't target feed. Plus phyto. Plus a lot of love :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest x2minusblndfold February 23, 2004 Share February 23, 2004 For coral food, is frozen Brine Shrimp good?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelg February 23, 2004 Share February 23, 2004 fairly un-nutritious IMO. Day old freshly hatched brine shrimp still have a lot of nutrition in them though, and it is pretty easy to do. I should also add that in feeding corals, it is best to try to use a bunch of different sized meats (which a blender does a great job of accomplishing). Best bet is to read over our diy thread on coral food and the lenghty post at reefcentral.com in the coral forum (Eric Borneman's forum). It is pinned at the top so pretty easy to find. There is no magic recipe, but I think the concensus is that the more diverse the ingredients, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquariareview February 24, 2004 Share February 24, 2004 Very Nice I want a piece of the sarc if you have a spare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogurnda February 24, 2004 Author Share February 24, 2004 Very Nice I want a piece of the sarc if you have a spare Thanks! After I sent the cap to the last meeting, the parent developed rot around the base (see "sarcophyton rot" thread). I have re-fragged it, but there's not much left. I have a few daughter colonies, if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
