WV Reefer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 4 minutes ago, EthanPhillyCheesesteak said: Ok, so I have a question about coral feeding? I’ve tried to do some research on this, and I can’t find it. I don’t have any coral food or reef roads right now, so I was just wondering if I could try to target feed when I unthaw the frozen mysis blocks? I tried it once, and my chalice grabbed onto one and held it for a while. But could my discoma and pocillopora get anything from this? That will work for coral with larger mouths. Try stirring the sand just a bit...... that’s how I feed my corals. Quote Link to comment
NuisanceAlgaeCultivator Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Maybe a discoma could eat it but Mysis is too big for pocillopora to eat. Get some coral micro-plankton and feed both of them, it's pretty cheap. Check out liveaquaria they've got good insight for both those corals. Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 I just got home, and I’m having a little bit of trouble with my viparspectre light. I set the timer to be on channel 1 one right now, and everything is blue instead of the full spectrum? Anyone know anything about this? How do I fix this issue? Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Never mind, I just figured it out Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 This is what the tank looks like right now, working on the algae issue. The lighting also makes my phones camera act funny, sorry. As of Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 I also have a pocillopora frag, but it’s not looking super pretty bc I had to move it. I also have a bunch of different kinds of hermits, but I don’t feel like taking a picture of everyone. Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The long tentacle nem is rather big. When fully open it is about 7 inches across its head. He is a very pretty blue when the actinic are on 2 Quote Link to comment

EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 The fish are doing great. Every fish in the tank has been in the tank for more than a year Except for the gold nugget maroon clown, I got him maybe 6 months ago 1 Quote Link to comment
mitten_reef Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I know that you said the two clowns had been in there together for about 6 months. But keep an eye on the maroon clown, they have a reputation of being a mean, territorial fish, especially with having that occy clown in there with it. Clowns will go through aggressive display for dominance during their sex change - level of aggression varies. 1 Quote Link to comment

I’ll keep an eye on the little guy, for now he is scared of the occelaris clown 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 I have my viparspectre lights set on a timer from 12 to 8. Channel 1 is at 60% while channel 2 is at 45%. 1 Quote Link to comment
EthanPhillyCheesesteak Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 One thing that I’m a little worried about is that when my lights are off, my nem deflates but doesn’t detach. It just worries me that he may possibly get sucked into the wavemaker above him. Is this normal behavior? Should I be worried? 1 Quote Link to comment

A lot of things in the tank will close at night time. 🙂 Quote Link to comment

With nems it's always possible, but like WV said, everything closes at night. My rock flower nems usually pull in when lights are out. Nems have very strange behavior so I wouldn't worry about it. Mine do all kinds of crazy shit lol. Def clean the glass though, you wanna enjoy the tank and all the critters in it. Quote Link to comment
