thx for looking and wasting your time with me :anxious

Not to be mean, but mandarins aren't suitable for nanos. Unless you've gotten lucky and gotten the 1/1000 that'll take prepared food they'll slowly starve to death in that size tank.

WOW I want some blue gorgonia
ed care to share ??????Please ?????
Btw I like the pictures that you share so it isnt wasting my time

 

[dragon79]

how much was it? I visited last week and got a bunch of frags, but left some there for you to buy edgray, hehe. I didn't see or I guess I haven't been to careful to spot them. They may have been there all the time, but I may have passed it by, lol.

But on another note, can anybody answer my questions on the "care & needs" for the gargonia.

I don't know where you posted the question.

The answer is that they're filter feeders, so phyto of some sort is probably necessary, moderate to high flow. Unfortunately they have horrible survival rates in aquariums.

my question was in this thread actually, not one of my own, sorry. Just wanted a quick answer. Didn't want to make a impulsive buy and see it die, you know?

Edgray, good luck with it, let me know if you can get it to live. If they have "horrible" survival rate in aquariums, I'll be passing. Thanks.

OK, hopefully mine will survive at least a year just like the forbidden coral (flower pot and well i just got it cause was only for $20 and nobody in my lfs told me that this kind of coral didnt do good in tanks i hope it dies soon i can wait to get rid of it lol lol) thats all im asking cause then i can get new corals :lol: :lol: :lol: and that will save me to get rid of them :lol: :lol: and well what im feeding my coral is zoplan every 3 days just like dt's live marine phytoplankton and every 5 days some calcium and reef a & b... but i put them in different day so is like one day zoplan the next phyto then next day calcium and next day reef a & b but like i said phyto every 3 days just like zoplan and every 5 days calcium & reef a&b i hope thats enough for them and well they get zyclops ezze to thx to the mandys :lol: :lol: and i know that gorgonia is not a photosintetic coral so thats why i try to throw the phyto and zoplan in front of it... anyways thx for replying on dragon request about the gorgonia incysor but i guess dragon doent pay attention on the forums cause we were in another topic talking about it were to get it , the price and also the cares & needs of it ....

Just watch that you dont overdose the calcium you should be testing your calcium before adding if you dont already test it

 

[EDGRAY]

yeah was ok last time i check just the lower that could be so thats why they told me that i needed to add calcium so thats why im putting it but ill keep that in mind thx again sadielynn ... i always text everythin on saturdays i do my self the nitrate,nitrite,ph,alkalinity and salt gravity and my lfs the test the amonia , phosphate and calcium....

ill post them on saturday...

but anyways do you think i should add calcium only when i do water changes or just when test tells me that is low

 

[sadielynn]

Invest in the test kit only add if it says that you are low. Just my opinion
Other wise the tank is looking great!! I am still intrested in the blue gorgonia if you care to share LOL :lol: :lol: just kidding .

 

[EDGRAY]

if i see some tomorrow ill get them and keep them in my tank until you want them and you can PM me and ill send them for you ... really ....

Steven, I got mine at tongs. they get them in every few weeks. If you want one, i can pick it up for you if i see one. They are usually $10 because they sell them as frags.

Ive had mine for over a year. It has been through alot and has survived with flying colors. It might be the species that they sell, maybe it is a hardy species.

Sadielynn, i dont know where you are located, but i can pick one up for you too if i see that they have them again. the store is in huntington beach, ca.

 

[EDGRAY]

Well that might bee true reefman23 cause like you told me i went to tongs and i got 2 pieces for $10 so i got them $5 a piece and well im not sure if mines are the same size as yours mines are like 2 inches by 2 inches and the other one alittle bit bigger ill check some today for sadielynn and for dragon79 if they have ill pm you guys.. and dragon79 maybe we can trade them for some red algie or coral i dont know the one that mike gave you i dont know its name

 

[reefman23]

im not sure if mines are the same size as yours mines are like 2 inches by 2 inches and the other one alittle bit bigger

Yeh, mine is just a little bigger than that, but i got mine for $10. wow, $5 is even better.
