newb questions

[Moonstream]

I have seen some very nice looking coral and have some questions. First what do they need? Are they hardy? Is 65 watts over a 29 gallon AGA tank enough? Is it okay not to dose? The corals I want are

frogspawn
long tenticled plate
bubble
brain
torch
black tube

are these good chioses? I read that the tube is hard to care for?

Here's a good site for coral care. I believe most of the corals listed are on there.

ok, cool link but allitle hard to make sence of. So I will be getting one of all those corals to see how they grow and will also be getting elegance coral, sun coral, and have tacken the black tube coral off the list.

Sun coral must be fed. Almost all elegence coral harvested now are not survivng thru 2 months. Be very picky

okay, what should I feed my sun coral? Brine shrimp (frozen) and blood shrimp (frozen).

People say they don't eat phyto but mine excelled 6 months on Phytoplex and DT's. That being said I have since switched to alternating between that, rotifers and most especially mysis. they love mysis and will suck them down with greed.

yeah, my Black sun Coral gobble mysis and cyclopeeze... I've had mine for a little over a week and had some fluctuating param & dosing issues and it seem to be un phased at all. Just try to feed each head if possible, but with cyclopeeze floating around it will find food. Oh also mines stay open for most of the day
Could be too much food floating around....

no. 65W on a 29gl is not enough.
