goodfishguy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I set up my tank about one month ago. The tank is 20g with 15g sump. Return pump is Mag 7 which pump water from sump to the main tank via SCDW as the only filtration. I used 2 x 96 watt corallife power compact at the beginning. It looked good but still, since I am going to add SPS into my tank, I updated my lighting to 150 watt DE MH. I will update my tank with more photos soon! Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Love the blueberry gorgonian. one of my favorites. I just keep hearing about how hard they are to maintain tho. How has yours been for you? Any suggestions or tips on maintaining such a coral? Link to comment
goodfishguy Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks! I think this one is very easy to keep but i dont know the other. The key to keep this one is to feed it regularly like every other day or even single day. I feed it cyclop-eeze but it takes brine shrimp and flake as well. The poly will sometimes come up at day or sometimes at night. Also, I think strong current is also important. I have two and both are very heathly. One of them even start budding as well. I can see many small poly coming up from the base too! Link to comment

mik Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 dude sps within a month of the tank being started!!! Be careful with sps as they require established tanks of 6+ months just like clams. Many a tanks have crashed with stocking sps too soon. good luck mik Link to comment
reefsrule Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 how long have you had the gorgonian? Link to comment
goodfishguy Posted December 25, 2004 Author Share Posted December 25, 2004 I have it for almost a year. I moved it from my main tank. It was very small but now, it seems to be a lot bigger. Link to comment
smokez01 Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 i love your gorgonian also, the left side of your tank's aquascaping looks pretty cool, Link to comment

goodfishguy Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 Just added it a couple days ago and it is growing now. So fast! Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 I hate to burst your bubble, but are those red bugs on your yellow acro frag? Link to comment
goodfishguy Posted January 16, 2005 Author Share Posted January 16, 2005 yes, it is. I am not sure what to do now because this frag is growing. Also, i dont have any interceptor to help. any idea? Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 try checking RC's sps forum for people selling interceptor. If nobody has a thread going, start one of your one. BTW that is a sweet frag. Link to comment
msn711 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Just curious, can you post a picture of your tank with the PCs. I've got 2x96w on my 20L, and I'd love to see a comparison pic between the PCs and MHs. Link to comment
goodfishguy Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 thanks! I only got this pic under PC. It DOES make BIG different. It didnt hurt my eye under PC when I looked very close to my tank. But under MH, it hurts my eye very much. Link to comment
