You better get that gorg some baby brine. It looks hungry lol.Closer pics. Added a red gorgonian to the 30.
I have a couple purple ones in my other system for over 2 years now. They get brine and mysis when I feed the fish. I have a brine making kit but dont use it much.You better get that gorg some baby brine. It looks hungry lol.
You are good then. Was more a joke as the polyps were out. Love me some gorgs though.I have a couple purple ones in my other system for over 2 years now. They get brine and mysis when I feed the fish. I have a brine making kit but dont use it much.
I have just started phytoplankton a few weeks ago. I dose it every couple days.
I am using esv dry powder.
Little trick just to know about it and incase the gorg appears to be not getting enough food.Thanks. Sometimes hard to determine internet humor, lmo.
Gorgoniqns do bring a finished look to any system though.
My snails and hermit crabs like to climb the branches for some tank entertainment.
Thanks for the tip! Over the years I have found them to be quite easy to maintain as long as you feed your system enough. Heavy in/out.Little trick just to know about it and incase the gorg appears to be not getting enough food.
Take a bottle just barely bigger than the gorg, cut to bottom off to where the bottle is just taller than the gorg, place over gorg in tank, feed them with this over them. This is pretty cool to watch as well, You can load it with phyto or bbs and in minutes all are consumed and the water in the bottle is back to being clear. I really like to do this with newer gorgs to get them good and fat. This is really only needed for NPS ones, but photosynthetic ones like a good treat every now and again also lol.
That they are. I have a blueberry gorg over 3 years old and fragged numerous times. When I got it, I fed it for about a month like that, doing it every 3 days. It was in bad shape when I got it, so wanted to "beef" it up a little.Thanks for the tip! Over the years I have found them to be quite easy to maintain as long as you feed your system enough.

Nice setup. I will relook at your build.That they are. I have a blueberry gorg over 3 years old and fragged numerous times. When I got it, I fed it for about a month like that, doing it every 3 days. It was in bad shape when I got it, so wanted to "beef" it up a little.
Once healthy, it has done great. But I am heavy in and heavy out. Oversized skimmer, algae scrubber, phyto on dosing pump, feed 7 times a day, dose ammonia (yup lol), dose some no3 and po4, and have a display fuge. While I could run the tank with just basic stuff, all those items serve a purpose and some of the yield from them get recycled for fish food.
It starts alive, but not sure it stays that was once in the dosing container. I do not keep a light on it, but it only lasts about 3 days, so may all still be alive. As for feeding, the tank gets about 400ml a day over 12 doses in 24 hours.Nice setup. I will relook at your build.
Oversize skimmer in my 80. I dose po4 3ml a day to keep it around .05. No3 is never above 5 in my system. I do have a 3+" sandbed in the 30g remote which was a fuge but bottomed out my po4.
Question on phyto as I just started it. Do you feed ever day and is it live?
I have a 30g remote attatched to the 80. Live rock and a 3+" sandbed. Thier are a few pieces of live rock in the 80.Any biological media or rock on the 80 gal system?
Thanks. I use esv dried. Still have not come up with a schedule yet for it.It starts alive, but not sure it stays that was once in the dosing container.

I use to use the ESV stuff or other dead stuff in a bottle. I then moved to more NPS critters and that was not cutting it. So started brewing my own and have now expanded it to 6 PhytoTank L systems. Ends up being much cheaper in the long run and not hard to do. The kits are basically plug and play.Thanks. I use esv dried. Still have not come up with a schedule yet for it.
Dude that’s crazy that’s more than my Slimer that started at the same size has grown in a year! The heck you putting in your tanks that make acros and coralline so fast?!Here is a growth pic of the green slimer in the 30g remote.
5 months. Not bad for 2 16hds, imo.
I really like the AI prime look. Very much like a halide. Guess thats why I run 7 on 2 different systems. The slimer has only been under 2 16hds for about 2.5 months.
I try to keep things as simple as I can.Dude that’s crazy that’s more than my Slimer that started at the same size has grown in a year! The heck you putting in your tanks that make acros and coralline so fast?!
