Carnation propogation

[Mylesweaver]

Has anyone been able to propogate a carnation coral? I have. I am now growing over a dozen juvenile. I have pics if anyone is interested

I wish you the best - most of us work hard at just keeping these corals alive.

Do post pics and details about your system.

Let us know your progress.

I have had the two for about 9 months . I feed reef roids about 3-4 times a day and phyto feast probably 10 times a day.the new sprouts have been growing for about two months and grow a little every day.today they are bigger than yesterday.

Can't you e-mail your pics to your computer and then upload them to this thread?

Yes, pix please ( email them to your computer, upload to photobucket) and more details about your system. How the heck do you keep the water clean?

Bacteria!!!

I dump food in my tank like 8-10 whole silver sides krill brine shrimp and a couple whole jumbo shrimp plus the reef roids and phyto every day. My tank is old with lots of live rock and lots of sand. Bacteria is the answer. No refugium cause plants won't grow.

I don't do water changes either. I probably only done 10 10 gallon water changes in the past 10 years just because I was board.

what species of phytoplankton are you feeding?

 

[Mylesweaver]

Phyto feast and reef roids

 

[Mylesweaver]

I feed a lot of frozen food that turns the water white after they eat. I never rinse my food.im guessing this is what kind of things they get in the wild.

I can't figure out this picture stuff. I don't know why they make it so difficult.can I text it to someone so you can post it for me

They look great! How do you think that it happened?

 

[Mylesweaver]

Feed and flow. A hearty start from aquarium world

I don't know how to ask the question correctly. Do you think that is was reproduction or did another one die there and those are growing from that?
