calling all Azoo keepers

[fullmonti]

I'm looking for others who have a dedicated non-photosynthetic tank. Would be great to have some local (fairly local any way) nps friends. I set up a 3' 30gal nps tank about a month ago.

I have a 1 1/2gal tank I made that holds Azoo food that is slowly pumped into the display tank 24 hours a day.

Any other dark siders out there?

Surely as big as Atlanta area is there must be tr least one nps keeper out there. If you read this & know of some one that does please ask them to answer this thread.

I'm not keeping NPS but love your tank so far. I had to google Azoo food to figure out what you were talking about. can you expand on how you are feeding and what specifically you are using?

I keep Sun Corals, and have a great location for NPS. I basically built my rock into a tripod to have a large shaded area where I could foster some NPS. I tried a piece of Chili Coral but it basically disintegrated in all of about 3 days.

NPS corals make their living grabbing food out of the water. There isn't enough food in a normal reef tank to keep them. So an nps tanks generally is fed many times a day or even continuously. It seems every one who keeps them, feeds them in a different way. Fauna Marin makes several lines of products, one is filter feeder foods. There is a forum on RC for nps corals if your really interested. But nps are just a hard to set up for as sps, or harder. Don't have to deal with calcium issues & lots of light, but you have to deal with all that food & still keep good water quality. I have just started, thats why I'm look for some nps keepers near by. Misery loves company!

I would have posted a link but I don't know how. If any one wants to PM me to let me know that would be great.

No one even knows some one who has nps?

I've always been intrigued by nps and coldwater tanks, but haven't tried a full blown NPS tank. My experience is limited to the usual Dendrophyllia, Balanophyllia, Tubastrea etc.. I wouldn't mind picking your brain for information.

I'm pretty new to it my self. But be happy to help if I can.
