My 20long

This is my nano reef, it is just coming up on 6months old. I have a mated pair of occelaris clowns and occelated dragonets.

 

[Darylb]

Nice tank love the look of it all keep up the good work

 

[Swimzebras]

I would love to know how you keep the dragnets fed and healthy in such a small tank!

 

[Darylb]

Me to I was looking at them in the shop today and feeding them would cost a fortune for me

 

[944speeder]

Actually I've trained them on frozen mysiys shrimp and brine shrimp, I just turn all the pumps off during feeding. Some except frozen food and some don't.

 

[Darylb]

That's awesome

 

[944speeder]

Thank you, but if you do get one keep in mind that in the wild they eat one copepod every three to four seconds during the day

 

[Darylb]

I don't think ill get one they are a bit beyond my care level at the moment I'm going to try set up a 65 gallon reef tank in the next year or so

 

[944speeder]

I gotcha, and yes a bigger tank is always or our reefer minds

 

[Darylb]

Yep haha I only got 2 yellowtail damsels at the moment with 2 turbo snails

 

[944speeder]

Very nice. How old is your tank?

 

[Darylb]

Coming up to just over a month I think got a long way to go yet

 

[944speeder]

Yeah the fun part is watching things change and seeing the tank grow!

 

[Darylb]

Defiantly it's amazing how much corals move and change to my plate went from this to this

 

[944speeder]

Nice size specimen. Do you feed the plate coral at all?

 

[Darylb]

I got told I didn't have to but when I fed the damsels some of the food fell onto the plate and it ate that do you feed yours?

 

[944speeder]

Yeah I try and target feed my plate coral and frogspawn at least once a week. It helps benefit their growth

 

[Darylb]

Aw okay mine was that big when I bought it not bad for $5

 

[944speeder]

Yeah! Wow that's a good price, I traded a few frags for mine but the guy I bought it from payed 65$:/ haha

 

[Darylb]

What size diameter is yours? I was thinking about trading mine in cos it's to big for my nano I reckon
