Suncoral explosion - Aquarium Advice

MsBeanCtr · 04-15-2007, 11:58 PM

I've had this sun coral for a couple of months but since I've been doing the "half of a 2 liter plastic bottle" target feeding it's gone nuts.

A very big thank you to roka and melosu for the tip!

Very nice sun coral...how do you do this target feeding with half a 2 litter bottle? I need some instructions...

Here is the picture of the clam feeder and the directions are underneath.

Cut the 2 liter bottle in half (leave the top - where the lid screws on)-you'll have a "bell" shape-put this over the top of the coral. Using a turkey baster (or something similar) insert it into the lid opening and dose with phyto-feast (or whatever turns your scooter) and leave in place for a while (I leave mine on for around 30 minutes). I'll try to get a picture of it tonight.

I`ll tell you Msbeanctr that is one fantastic looking sun coral. One of the best I`ve ever seen. Great job. I am very impressed.

Looks great - never thought about feeding that way - I seen people take them out and in a bucket of tank water and load it up for about 1/2hour .

That is gorgeous!

I agree it is gorgeous. I've never seen one before. Now I have to research it because I want one for my tank.

Definitely research it because they need help surviving in the SW aquarium. Thanks for the desktop image Ms Beancntr. LOL
