Ok so if I wanted to feed them, how would I do that with frozen mysis shrimp? And do you actually see the corals take the food or do u kinda just lay it on them? Lol

I don't see why not. Wait for someone who has used it to post. I imagine it will work well. Hopefully I will be able to find a small bottle. I think that large bottle would last me 3 years. Lol!

I have a sun coral that I have to feed and a couple others that I feed couple times a week. You can use either a 2-liter clear bottle or a 12 oz bottle, depending on how big your corals are. Some of the corals are slow to eat, so the fish can steal their food. So cut the bottle in half, keep the half with the spout opening. Wash it out and place it over the coral with spout Facing up. Then you can fit a turkey Baster through the opening and spot feed. I have several bottles so I can feed all at once. Then you can walk away and come back after 15 min or so and remove the bottles. That should give them enough time to eat without food being stolen by fish or hermits.

No problem!! Just don't forget to take the bottles off when done cuz then your corals won't be getting any flow and won't be happy.

Nitrates are down to 20ppm gonna get some more water n do another one lol

My green hammer kept getting pulled up by something (guessing my hermits) so I moved that up higher and now my frogspawn is getting dug up lol guess I gotta get some glue

Turbo snails were the worst bulldozers in my tanks. I ended up using underwater epoxy or gel type super glue to hold some of my corals in place.
