I am currently feeding my corals with 5 in 1 coral food. 1 cap on alternate days. Cauliflower looks better....finally opened up. Now my buttons don't seem to be opening. any suggestion. My tank size is 2ft. Was told that 5 in 1 coral food is good enough. Dosage 1 cap alternate days. what else am i to do?

I bought 2 cauliflowers some time back...both are placed at the sand bed...both were opening up alternatively and closing up...past1 1/2 weeks both closed up and looks like they have closed up tightly and shrunk a little...can anybody tell me what is happening????

what is a blasto anybody?

jasment> thanks for ur advice. Got a Atman Hang on filter last weekend. Water condition looks better. Replaced the cartride with Carbon and cotton and ambystoma82> yup it is stii in the tank...lloks rather healthy. Added 3 damsels last weekend and everything looks good Also got some 'freebies' with the live rock i think. Spotted a crab last night but couldn't have a good look at it was hiding. couldn't find it in the morning and also spotted something with feelers just now but also got no idea what it is. it is in a small hole in the rock...

Hi Friends...Need some advice again...Saw some Living Stuff on my rocks...Believe it is an anemone if i am correct...took a picture of it...This is happening in 3 days of adding live rock...What is it??can somebody ID and what does this mean abt the water condition.

Hi Friends. Am brand new to this forum. Had a marine tank about 5years back but due to bad advice and impatience it lasted only 4 months. After long consideration decided to recon an old 2ft x 1ft x 1 ft tank to setup marine. Only after buying sme essentials I realised I was getting nto the hobby of Nano Reef tanks and am very glad i m in it. Just for the records on 28th June I washed my old tank and purchased the following from a shop at Yishun: Bio Sea Salt pH testkit NitrateMinus Cooling Fan Powerhead with Filter Coral Sand T5 light with 2 white tube Bacteria Hydrometer Instructions from the shopkeeper was to stabilise water at 1.023sg and pH8.3 then add rocks. He also advised to cycle tank for 4 weeks. Since Jalan Kayu was selling rocks at a dollar less I purchased 6 kg of rocks at Jalan Kayu on 1st July 2007 and scaped the tank on the same night. Advise from Jalan Kayu was to cycle tank for 2 weeks before adding fishes....confused Ons shop say 4 weeks and another say 2 weeks...which to follow.... Finally today went to Reborn at Lavender and just enquired the price of 1 coral which was $8 then told him I just added rocks yesterday and waiting for water to cycle and he said if water is clear i can already add the coral more confused....anybody can tell me next step to do??? PS. I am not having and not intending to have a Filter and Skimmer cos i read at www.nano-reef.com that the best filtration is biological filtration and am trying to go by it. Understand that for biological filtration need to change 20% water once a week...Fridays are water change days..haha Willing to listen to any advice and question any advice that sounds controversial for clarification
