Feeding Corals

[wontonflip]

As most of you know I have a FOWLR tank, so I know very little about corals (except the few tidbits I pick up from you experts :D ).

I'm considering doing a pico vase w/ just a dsb, live rock, and coral. Do all corals require food? Like, mysis, or cyclopeeze or something. Or are there corals that are strictly photosynthetic? I guess cuz they're technically animals, they all require some sort of food, right?

Im pretty sure no corals NEED to be fed other than like sun corals....dont quote me

Girl, if I had the money, every room in my house would have some type of saltwater tank LOL I don't want to turn my 125g into a reef because that would mean I have to maintain my water better LOL I already have a couple of empty vases that just sit here. I figure I might as well put them to good use.

:) I think that's a great use for a vase, cause, who the heck gets flowers anymore right? Or, is that just me?
What a fun project!

 

[Dana42078]

I still buy flowers : /

 

[SarahSmile]

Send some on over my way Dana! I just don't get them bought for me anymore, that's what I meant. You don't close your eyes, anymore, when I kiss, your liiiipssss.

 

[Dana42078]

Well not anymore being single but I thought u ladies liked flowers! Hmph...

 

[Dana42078]

I'd have no problem doing that!! Been a while since I've bought any...damn we jacked her thread ;) lol

 

[SarahSmile]

Sorry Wonton, no real help from us here!!

Id say you dont need to feed any coral, some will grow faster if fed though, the non-photosynthetic corals being exempt from this though

 

[jcegt87]

agreed with L_F NPS corals are the exception

Cool project Wonton...nope, no need to feed.

 

[wontonflip]

THANK YOU lilfish, JCE, and Smitty

Sara and Dana were just useless...trying to get hooked up with flowers on MY thread???? Hah!

:mrgreen:

FYI Dana...most girls like flowers, I'm not so into them. I appreciate them if someone buys them for me, but I'd rather have something I can use LOL

I like to put betas into vases . . . .. my little rainbow army

 

[wontonflip]

I used to have 2 vases w/ bettas and a millenium plant in it. Had them for over a year. I'm so tempted to get a betta bowl just for the kitchen. To give the kids something to look at up here instead of just the basement LOL

What'd you decide girl??
