dude, ask Fuel, I believe he got lots of exp wif sea fans...

[shoelevy]

i did

but he couldn't tell me much about their care or at least wat he told me didn't make me more confident about keeping them

i would like to noe more about their feeding frequency requirements and light and flow requirements lor

[35Cents]

I'm not a fan of sea fans... ...anyway..but I know the flow needs to be very strong to feed on plankton as its not photosynthetic but need strong lights to prevent algae from establishing on the fan... hope this helps... If you want more read up, so a search online... sure got infor

[shoelevy]

thanks 35cents

internet...haiz...not sporean info leh...haha

i prefer advice from local people who haf access to same exposure and same sea fan stocks as us la...info is kinda more reliable than those abroad who use probably diff types of equip

can moderator help m chance title?

change to sea fans

thanks

hm...maybe i change quest...can anione jus gif me advice on sea fans...which ever sea fan doesn't matter

[diabolus]

bro...

IMO...sea fans needs intense lighting and also very vigourous water circulation, as they are photosynthetic and also filter feeders.

they should be placed perpendicular to the water flow, meaning that the water movement should be surging against the broad face of the sea fan.

low water circulation will cause the sea fan to be clogged with debris and hair algae will start to form, causing the demise of the sea fan. a good base is also important, one that is heavy enuff to withstand the strong water movement.

just my 2 cents worth.

ani particular sea fan u guys would recommend?

Hi,

I am keeping a blue fan which had been with me for abt a year and is still doing great.

I place it abt midway up my tank and attach it to on of my lr.

IMO, Sea fans need good lighting and very important to provide them with strong current to help them get rid of the slime and any dirt that might get stuck on it.

I place mine perpendicular to my Tunze 6080.

aie

tt time i go yr home how come i didn't see this beauty?

yr tunze 6080 is blasting directly on it ?

do u place it very close to the mouth of the tunze?

[shawncel]

Tunze not blowing directly at it. Place it at an angle to the tunze.

Afraid that the seafan might not be able to tahan the full force leh...

[shoelevy]
