    Best food to feed tiny sun coral??

    I feed mine mysis shrimp and have had a lot of success. Just make sure its tents capture the food. You'd be suprised how much even a small sun will eat.

    Canister question

    Just purchased a new 45g and I'm thinking about my equipment needs. I'd like to run a canister, for space reasons (no interest in a sump), and would like opinions/experiences on what to purchase. I've noted that Eheim's have great reviews and Fluval's have o-ring issues. Also, in your...

    Another lighting and anemone question

    I would like to get a BTA to host my 2 true perc clowns. I have a 65w pc lighting, split between 1 actinic and 1 10,000k super daylight bulb over a 20g. Will this lighting support the nem? I know the tank is on the small size but I plan on upgrading soon. If the lighting doesn't support the...

    sun coral resisting?

    I've use a turkey baster with 2 cubes of mysis. I turn off the filer and powerheads to eliminate flow and spot fee. I have had a lot of success with this method. At first, it took about 1 week for my sun to fully open. I would lay mysis on top of it to entice it to extend its tenticles...

    New Orange Sun Coral

    Tried mysis with some success. Guess it's still acclimating. I only received it Friday, 12/14 and I read it may take a week to fully open. Anybody else read this?

    Red Gorgonian

    Just received a Red Gorgonian. Just curious what your feeding it? I'm using Kent's liquid photoplankton, spot basting. Should that work? Not the best picture but it's a nice specimen. Thanks

    New Orange Sun Coral

    Here's a shot from last night. As you can see, no tents but it does appear to be expanding. Should I be concerned? What should I feed it without its tents expanded?

    Need some help. I just purchase an orange sun coral and have a few questions for the experts. First, the coral appears to have no tentacles. It will extend iteself but its arms appear to be about 1/32", if that. Nothing like you see in pictures. Is this indicative of a new/infant coral? If...
