Coral Update

[Huly]

Here are a few photos of our corals. To me they all look to be doing well. Also our fighting conch munches on the cyanobacteria

Gorgeous. I love the cute conchs. Their eye stalks remind me of the periscope on submarines.

Looks really great. Need a FTS!

[Huly]

FTS?

[Origami]

FTS = Full Tank Shot.

 

I really like how that Sun Coral is opened up, Christine. It responded well to the Reef Roids.

Tank is look great!

[Huly]

Gotcha! Yeah I should have done that but didn't think of it. I will get one this weekend and post it on Monday.

 

The Sun coral loves the Reef Roids but its favorite is krill. One small piece per flower

[Coral Hind]

Nice shots. The placement of the sun coral is perfect.

[flooddc]

Very Nice!

[Huly]

Thank you we are trying and so far we are doing ok with our corals

[Marc Weaver]

Your tank is coming along nicely. If you ever make it up to the Frederick area, PM me. I have tons of frags that I'll give you if you'd like to try some hardier stony corals, like montpora and birdsnests.

Everything looks amazing. You're doing a great job. Keep up the good work.

 

We all hit all kinds of bumps along the way in this hobby. The key is to take each issue as a challenge, not a defeat. Turn discouragement into encouragement! Learn from it, move forward, and do it better! Each time you encounter a problem and deal with it, it's another feather of knowledge in your cap.

 

Go Huly!!!!! Rah, rah, rah...

Thank you Jan! I am still struggling with the loss of our fish esp the jawfish. I have a hard time walking in any LFS and seeing their fish. Its crazy how attached I got to those two so quickly. I am still looking to the future and enjoying the coral and how well it looks.

 

Oh BTW since we are fishless at the moment we dosed copeapods again and now we can see them everywhere

Tank is looking great! (Pathetically, I didn't notice the lack of fish). One piece of advice: might want to consider containing the GSPs. It is clear from the health of your corals that you've the stability in which the GSPs will thrive and soon spread everywhere. I made this mistake on my 1st tank and it was a constant and losing battle to keep them in check. Consider isolating them to an island somewhere in your tank. Otherwise perfect/Congrats!!!

I love your elegance coral! Def need a FTS.

I have a sun coral too and it does ok without target feeding. Opens up when I feed cyclopeeze or any other coral food. Should I feel bad about not target feeding them? Also, it will hold onto and eat a leaf of seaweed if you drape one over it. But then a fish comes and steals it. Gues you don't have to worry about that.
