Raising Dendronephthya and Scleronephthya, next step, pt1

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Ok, I'm sometimes talking about cat litter trickle filter. Here's pictures, there's also 5 gallon bucket under it submerged also hole on bottom of it. That's DSB, . I haven't touched refugium since day one. 1/2hp chiller , zeovit filter, haven't touched.

Trying to raise dendronephthya and scleronephthya, I feel like Don Quixote. The impossible dream. I have hopefully 20years, to keep at it.

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

Open an account with wholesale vendor that buys from Cairns Marine. They got a shipment from them today, tomorrow I'll get stock list. Maybe some dendronephthya, if not, hopefully soon.

Ok, so in California, to the best of my knowledge the big six of wholesalers are:

Sea Dwelling Creatures-order from Cairns Marine
Underwater World- order from Cairns Marine?
Quality Marine-?
Exotic Reef Imports-?
Renaissance Aquatics-?
Pacific Island Imports-?


Any wholesalers in Los Angeles, I'm missing? Let me know

We got lucky. Two Dendronephthya arrived today. Hope you find some too soon!

I only put them into the frag tank today. Maybe will hang then up tomorrow next to the Scleronephthyas, we'll see.

This is what they looked like five minutes after they arrived

Now I can test my hypothesis. The new recipe for food to dendronephthya. We'll see if it works. Need to keep water perimeters right. Stay tune
