    Leather coral feeding

    in General Reefkeeping_

    Posted

    hi goondoo.

    i hope my explanation did not confuse you furthur. :(

    For my understanding,

    The algae (zoonxanthellae) take in light, CO2 and necessary nutrients from the water column to make food aka photosynthesize (end product: O2 and sugar). The end product will be consumed by the coral which house them. The output by the corals after consuming these end product will be CO2 and waste.

    Am I right to say that?

    Bro, dun think u should take this risk. 3 pointers that got my red flag up. 1) Western Union payment. 2) Price is too good to be true 3) Which online retailer will accept only 50% payment?

    Juz my 2 cts worth.

    Cheers

    Can lar, tell them your customers are weary of the Nigerian scams, ask them to send 50% of the stocks over first before payments :).

    Thanks Bro Bino.

    I will be out of town tomorrow till 28th jun liao. Paisay.

    BTW my return pump is a 1262... not 1264. very blur myself, dun even know after so long. Just clean up the equipment for sale later and realised that.

    Upz for a very nice gentleman. Treat his things very well even while packing.... lol

    Thanks for the Zoas, bro ThanxSmiley.gifThanxSmiley.gif.... It grew well and I think they already doubled themself. Do they usually grow that fast?

    Proper Cycling

    Hi,

    1. When my tank is fully cycled, with ammonia (NH3) and nitrite reading 0, is it necessary to do a e.g. 50% water change? My second question is if i do a water change, will this affect the ammonia and nitrite reading?

    2. I know i have to slowly add fish a few e.g.1-2 at a time, what about adding corals? Can i add many corals at the same time?

    Thank you.

    Technically speaking, you do a 50% water change to remove 50% of the nitrates. So if your tank have 20ppm of Nitrates after cycling process, it should be 10 after the change.

    But it depends on what you are adding back too, especially if you use NSW from bad source which might contain high amount of ANN. I heard some salt mixed do too.

    The bacterias usually reside in the sand, live rocks or wool in the sump.

    I ever consider using 50% salt required to start a cycle, and adjust the SG after the cycle is complete and 50% water change. I gave up the idea and use NSW for cycling instead, after I start using a algae scrubber.

    Anything can give out ammonia when if they die off or excrete waste. I believe anemone do and some LPS should too.... even dead and live rocks

    Its not about 1-2 at a time. I usually recommend to my friends 1-2 live stocks weekly or fortnightly depending on the waste it might generate.

    Question on Sand star

    If it still moves about, there shouldn't be a need to worry. If it became stationary for days or weeks, then it must be dying.

    Quite true. At least you can monitor.

    I bought a Sand Dollar from Henry about a week ago. It burrowed into the sand upon introduction and I never see it again. There wasn't even sign that it was moving under the sand.

    I wonder if I should start digging to see whether its dead or alive.

    hehehe... good shot bro goonz... that would have been my guess too.

    hint: it looks like a hawkfish, and its common name has 'hawkfish' in it, but actually it isn't a hawkfish...

    Complicated? sure it is... will announce the name tmrw... watch this space... in the mean time, keep the guesses coming.

    Can't be sure if those extensions are for food capture but one thing is a fact. All corals exhibit some kind of heterotrophic feeding, simply because of the plain fact that they are animals. No corals rely 100% on photosynthesis, not even SPS. Polyps are designed for prey capture.

    A good reference.

    I wonder if my leather coral is angry for posting its "scandal" on the web.... lol....

    It refuse to open for the past 48 hours.

    Fuel,

    I am curious about corals photosynthesizing. What actually happen during the process? What is produced or used during the process? How much does it differ from water plants?

    Many thanks!

    Frankly dunno what is happening. I lost 12 fish in <10days. And from the looks, the Kole seems like the next victim. I suspect it could be the nsw. Or maybe the fish can't take salinity of 1.026?

    I'm okie with the chromis and mini fish dying. Well not ok ok, but less heartache. But Kole dying on me is a no no. Who's going to clean algae on the rocks now???

    Better stop meddling with the tank for now.

    Let it slowly mature.

    Found anything interesting in the skimmer?

    that's good to know lol. overreacting can save lives you know!!! :friends:

    That's my job, I am a WSH Professional.... friends.gif

    Allow me to over react one more time.

    Normal body check up do not cover checking the head, the bones and intestines (I do not know about breast). What I do know is my aunt had being going for regular check up in a reputable hospital, but its only through some signs that her children insist her checked by a specialist only to find out she got nose cancer first stage. Trust your body signs blush.gif
