SaltyBuddha Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Just added some sweet sponges to my tank. Really hoping I can keep these bad boys alive for a while. I know they usually don't last too long in our closed system. I currently broadcast phytoplankton, zooplankton, reef roids, coral frenzy, and reef snow 3 times a week. I also add KZ' sponge power every day. I'm currently using Seachems zooplankton but I might add Brightwell's 1-2 micron zooplankton as well to get smaller species in the tank. Any helpful thoughts or suggestions? 1 Quote Link to comment
Clown79 Posted June 8, 2019 Share Posted June 8, 2019 I think with your feeding it will help. I know they can't be exposed to air and like lots of flow 2 Quote Link to comment

Any helpful thoughts or suggestions? What kind of sponges? Some need light some don’t. I have multiple types of sponges and I do not feed them anything. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yellow Ball Sponge (Cinachyra alloclada) All from Live-plants.com. I've never heard of sponges that require light. Which kind do you have? 1 Quote Link to comment

I have a Purple Plating Sponge (Collospungia auris) and a Red Plating Sponge (Collospungia sp.) They both grow quickly but not aggressively. 2 Quote Link to comment
