Jeremy's tank pictures

[emmitt2]

Great pics Jerthunter. LOVE the sun coral.
In the pics of it feeding, it looks like your sand is clean around the sun but just outside the 2 liter, the sand is pretty dirty. Do you have that problem? I always get little cyano breakouts just outside where my tupperware bowl covers my sun coral. Never near the sun or inside where the bowl sits but just outside it a ring of cyano will form. Its weird so i was wondering if you ever had the same problem

I had the cyano problem before getting the sun coral but I think the sand under the 2-liter cover was cleaner due to being stirred up. I have taken care of the cyano for now so we will see if it comes back.

Thanks!
Just going to post some old pics I may have posted before.

The last two are no longer with me, still have no idea why they passed on.

A few more for today

 

[reef diver]

so bottle trick sorta looks like this im a bit confused

 

[emmitt2]

I use a small tupperware bowl instead of a 2 liter but its about the same, just easier to put the rock on top to keep it from floating away.

Yup, I actually used the bottom half of a coke bottle and drilled a hole through the bottom where I squirt cyclopeez in. I suppose the top half would work too and then you wouldn't have to drill a hole. I push the hat into the sand around the coral to keep it in place. I feed the coral a little at a time and then leave the hat on for atleast an hour to keep my cleaner shrimp from bugging it to much. Even after an hour the cleaner shrimp still climbs all over it trying to get food as you can see in one of my pics.

[jerthunter]

Thanks guys!
I find the sun coral will now open up on demand anytime I put cyclopeeze in the tank, even the tinyest amount!

 

[jerthunter]

Here are a few more, another one of my green sinularia, one of my green ricordea that is starting to split, and lastly one of my fish family at feeding time.

Thanks, I thought about that too but I am not sure, the coral came on my liverock and survived for quite awhile with little to no light before I moved it. I also thought it might be some kind of montipora but it doesn't seem to match any of the pictures I've seen.

 

[jerthunter]

More pictures!
Another sun coral pic, hammer coral pic, and two new additions. Unfortunately I got the pinkish ones as a present for someone else so it won't be in my tank much longer.
