Skylsdale: the foam method isn't very common in here for reefs either. In planted freshwater tanks and African Cichlid tanks it is quite common.
I won't be adding much more corals I think, but sometimes I see a unique piece, which I can't impossibly leave at the store :bum:
I bought the Turbinaria about 7 years ago, as a 2$ piece of about 1.5". In the previous tank, I glued the colony to a reef pile, which is almost covered with this coral entirely. It is one of my favorite corals.
Like I said before, I like to experiment. I also add quite an ammount of phyto, in order to experiment with non-zooxanthellate animals. At this moment, I only have quite an ammount of mysid shrimp and small tubeworms thriving, but I also like to try some 'more', but I take my time..
In order to make it a little easier to keep 'sensitive' fish, I also added a UV sterilizer past week.
At the time I took this pic, I only had one cardinal left, ime this species doesn't live very long, only about 1-2 years. I'm slowly increasing the school back to 'normal' levels. Tuesday, I added two more.
This tuesday I also added a small majestic angel:
The regal died, unfortunately. It eagerly ate even flake foods, but from what i've heard, all regals out of this shipment died, i suspect there was something wrong in the whole route between catch (Red Sea) and arrival at the very reputable store. I recieved full store credit for it, but it still was very dissapointing...
