A Quart of Fun

I got in on the Kickstarter project for PJ Reefs. I have finally started it up.

Thats a perfect piece of rock for that jar

I couldn't believe my luck. I fished it out of one of the other tanks. It was loaded with copepods as was the macro. I don't think there is enough nutrients for them to live on though.

 

The light seems really powerful so I've only had it on only a few hours a day.

 

The mushrooms and zoas are not staying put. The loctire super glue is not doing the job.

It been a week and all the zoas, mushrooms and palys are open and doing well. There are still lots of swimming copepods, brine shrimp and hair worms.

I'll add more things to the top. Maybe yellow polyps or GSP.

and feed, they r hungry! good idea to feed and wc as often as you like. the system w take long periods of starvation as well, but best to feed lightly weekly or so w a water chg.

Brandon, what do you recommend feeding them? Minimal amounts of Zoo/Phyto plankton?

Thanks! I have not done any water changes.

I used my smoothie blender (don't tell my family! ) to break up some time-released Phytoplankton and added a few drops of that in twice now as well as a few drops of baby brine shrimp. What else do you suggest as feed?
