mysis shrimp are not that expensive you can get them at your LFS. most of your corals will get all they need from just the water and the light. but some you want to target feed just to make them grow quicker and make them happy (acans, moon, openbrain, blastos, candycane, sun) I am like ReefAngel. I love to feed my babies. I just like it when they are fat and happy and it helps quicken the growth.

OK. So you can feed any type of coral? It just makes them grow faster? Also, what book would you recommend me to get as far as reef aquarium goes. I got a book on marine aquariums, but it isn't that specific about coral and anemones and such, and from the way it seems, there is a little bit of extra work involved to keeping them happy and well. The fish should be no problem, it's going to be the coral that I struggle with.

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Alot of the time the books make it seem harder than it actually is. Reefing isnt that hard, you just need 3 things, money, time, and TONS of patiants!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

The Conscientious Marine Aquarist written by Robert Fenner is probably one of the best books available.Originally Posted by Guido
Other than that try wearing out the search function on the board. You'll likely be able to find a lot of answers in posts for questions and answers that have been made in dozens of different ways.
Of course if you can't find what you are looking for don't hesitate to post it.

exactly what dakar said, that is what we are all here for is to help each other out in this hobby. the only bad question is the question you do not ask. And thank you for the compliments on the frag tank. I appreciate that. I am actually seriously considering opening a store here. there is only one guy in a hundred mile radius that sells marine fish and equipment and he is all about the money. and not to mention the store smells like ferrett urine.

the funny thing about this guy is his lack of knowledge, He does not carry any MH lighting onl y PC and he only carries Jebo which is a sub par unit in my opinion. He does not carry any items for a sump or a fuge. all of his tanks are filtered with just a hang on skimmer and he only runs PC on his tanks. He actually refers customers to me when they have questions he cannot answer (which is quite often) The only good thing about this place is that he give me awesome credit for my xenia.
