Way cool

 

[Big K]

Awesome! I need to use pellets for my Blastos and Candy. What kind?

 

[noy]

i would recommend taking it easy - especially with the candy - once/twice a week at most. Good sunlight is what they really need.

As for the pellets i use new life spectrum marine pellets but anything with a high protein content will suffice (vs. pellets with a high seaweed content).

 

[Big K]

OK...so how the hell do you get the pellets onto the coral? They're TINY!

 

[noy]

i have these small long clear tubes that i use to guide the pellets onto the corals. i think most lfs will sell them.

 

[Big K]

I got a few into the Blastos. Very cool!

Thanks, Noy!
