Looks good! I'll be interested to see how the chili cactus coral does in your tank. Are you spot feeding the sun corals or relying on them getting food from the dosing pump?

Somehow I eventually stop getting new post notifications on R2R for any thread I'm watching including this one... Clicking "unwatch thread" and then "watch thread" again fixes it for a few days and then it reverts. Hmm. Anyone else have this issue?

Im dosing and hard wire fish feeder to cell phone charger then plug in a timer , feeds one time every hour. Freeze dried mysis, dry algae in fish feeder.

I have same issues with threads following.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

So corals arriving 1 week from this Fri. Patience of Job.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Spoke to wholesaler, order is placed, so next Friday. Stay tune

Thanks. One day, we all who are trying
to raise these corals will succeed. One day. Hopefully sooner. Thanks again

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

So I finished hard wiring fish feeder to programable dosing pump for the scheduled times available on it. I feed less thru day, more when lights go out.

Also picked up an NPS gorgonian.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Something from the net.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

At "Backwoods Lab" instead of moonshine, trying to raise softies. Dendronephthya,scleronephthya, stereonephthya, NPS corals. Here's a sneek peek.

1 cu. foot activated carbon

Ph rock to control ph

Chiller and heat exchanger in frig. 2 chillers

The tank, 24 gallons.
Waiting on corals. Vietnam this time

2 Coralvue 3K. Alternate

It'll be interesting to see if you notice any difference in the dendronephthya now that it will be in a system with a bunch of other NPS corals. Presumably that means more mucus flocs/lipids being excreted and floating around in the water (and carrying with it bacteria and other picoplankton) for the dendros to capture and consume. Might add to the variety in their diet or provide something they've missed previously?

Keeping my fingers crossed that the Vietnam batch comes in healthy!

One time I added new dendros to existing tank the existing corals dendros just got huge, just for that day, interesting effect.
