Trying to raise Dendronephthya and Scleronephthya part1

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Busting out

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

We'll see how long she lives. Hopefully forever

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

I glued this one where it's stationary. Stubborn like a mule.
Not expanding like others. Will move soon

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Finally light at the end of the tunnel
Starting to expand

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

This one's opening more

Sallstrom, you there?
It's show time

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Finally, we are at this point.

1. Because of tank design, had to figure getting thorough access to corals polyps. To feed efficiently.
Rotation of corals solved that.
2. Majority of polyps open.
3. Wait and see if corals grow and possible propagation.
Took 8mo. to get here. Mainly not doing my homework first.
A lot of patience now, wait n see

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Just opening

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Note:

Setting up lab. Will definitely go with long tank, and use rotation to feed more efficient.

Sorry, R2R stopped give me alerts when something happens in this thread. Fixed now I think.

Long tank sounds good. If you put a stream pump at each end, one close to the front and one close to the back side, opposite sides, you'll get kind of laminar flow along the front glass and back glass.

Just found these when I took a closer look at the Scleronehphtya. First thought it was a Majano anemone, but it's new holdfast growing from one Scleronehphtya

I take that as a good sign, the corals attached itself. No need for glue here

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

She's ready to frag. LOL

That's really good sign. Man, call you Mr. Green thumb

WOW

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

One more , then gotta go work. The red chili coral pushed out a piece of its self. I found them on an oyster . Now waiting game

Glue some coral rocks (small) near those roots.

Also, the configuration of steam pumps looks like linear, but in a circular motion? Let me know

It will make circular flow around the system, but will be laminar flow across the colonies.

Yes, exactly

Thanks will do

Thanks a million

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Hit the sweet spot, rearranged wave pumps. It got bigger. Like a small man's hand. Heehee

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

To Sallstrom

Serious now, I'm throwing you a curve, like we say in America, a surprise, even for me. I'm trying to make oysters spawn(using chillers), males especially for there sperm, to feed scleronephthya. How you like them apples.

Your scleronephthya have nothing on my scleronephthya. Heehee

 

[Rispa]

It's easier to get urchins to spawn
