Rhizotrochus can be fragged! Sharing this in case anyone would like to try.
16 June 2022

8 January 2023 (finally some skeletal growth showing)
20 January 2023 (with more frags coming along)

I've been cutting up scolymias and cynarinas.
Snapped a picture of one of my scolymia frags. This frag has rounded off nicely from half a scolymia over the course of a year. I realised that the frags really need to be fed. The other half which was not fed (left as a control) withered over the course of 3-4 months. But this half seems to have grown well.
I'll share the feeding regime again in a separate post to follow.

Two st thomas mushrooms for trade. They are red, not orange as the pictures suggest.
Would consider zoas or LPS (even injured ones).

Indeed fleece style filtration is not condusive for planktons. But perhaps good generation and less aggressive mechanical filtration may spare enough?
Then there's the trade off with having more detritus accumulate :/

I have been thinking about the feeding habit of these NPS.
They have colonial polyps which require individual feeding. I am quite doubtful that they can all have a good share of bigger pieces of food in the wild. The density of larger sized planktons is just not that high. Thus I suspect they actually prey on smaller nanoplanktons
I did some quick search on papers regarding the gut content of Tubastrea sp. , it seems that 70%+ of the content is in fact nanoflagellates.
If so, would an aquarium with robust nanoplakton population be able to sustain these animals without additional feeding?
In respect of colonial-type NPS corals, I agree and highly doubt that each individual polyp is able to capture big pieces of food in the wild.
It is probably possible to keep without dedicated feeding in a tank with a robust plankton population. Though I am not sure how that can be done with various mechanical filtration systems that are now mainstays in the hobby.
-
Took the opportunity to inspect the NPS corals I've placed a dedicated compartment in my sump.
The water that overflows from my DT into the sump is entirely channeled through this rather narrow compartment before hitting the mechanical, biological and chemical filtration systems. This was done in the hope of (1) giving these corals the chance to catch food particles that flow into the sump; and (2) keeping them in a shaded location away from light (coralline seems to hurt them and balanophyllia is a coral which remains sensitive to light even after years in captivity).
Most of them seem to be recovering. Some much slower than others.

Selling a fat purple tang for $150. Been too aggressive to my newly added yellow tang. About 3.5 - 4 inches.

Anyone running herbie style overflow with a clarisea filter??
How do you stabilise the flow into clarisea? The water level in thenoverflow box fluctuates causing the return pump compartment water level to fluctuate quite a bit. If i was to put an ATO there it might go crazy.
Any advice/suggestion will help. First time using clarisea.
Sent from Singapore Reef Club mobile app
The water level in your overflow box should not be fluctuating much. Have you tried tuning your herbie? If I may suggest, close your gate valve and then slowly open it to tune your siphon line such that (1) the siphon line always remains in operation as a full siphon; and (2) your emergency line has a slight trickle only. This should stabilise the water in your overflow box.

As I understand, tiger sand conch and strawberry conch are the same. Coral Fanatics sells them, although they are located in the east.

Another bleached prata that is recovering:

I added a UV filter to my tank but had to allow that water to recirculate back into my sump because I didn't have a secure way to send that output directly into the DT. Recently, bought an attachment that has some rails for cheap online:
.thumb.jpg.30dc3995b9787d0d4003ad7f3cc305d5.jpg)
However, the barb attachment was too small so I had to make some modifications. The above can easily be dismantled and the plastic is soft enough to permit sanding.

After sanding (the hole):

Could fit a 20mm diameter pipe after. You'll have to know how wide you want to stretch the attachment before cutting the pipes but this is what I ended up with:

Quick and cheap DIY to send water straight up to your DT after passing through a reactor.

Got this prata while it was almost completely bleached some time ago. Some colour (brown nonetheless) seems to be coming back.
