And just after a dose of Warner Marine's Ultimate Snow. Got to keep that water quality up!

 

Beautiful! You have done a great job with this tank.

 

Thank you. Next I'll give the DSLR a run and hopefully get some awesome macro photos.

 

Much better with the LEDs off. Looks great Greg. Those are some happy acros there. Love it.
What are you using for coral food if anything?

Hmmmm carpet surfing survival works for keeping them small, eh?

Make me happy to hear about fish living long in aquaria

 

Thanks Matt,

For me, it's Reef Nutrition or nothing at all! ;D
Oyster feast, Roti feast, phyto feast, mysis feast, artic pods, beta brine, R.O.E. I try to dose about 10ml of each at least 4 times per week.

My theory is that in feeding the corals, they have to rely less on photosynthesis thus expelling more of their zooxanthellae. I may be worong on this theory but it sounds good.

 

Sad thing is, if it were me I would have flushed him for fear of poluting the tank. My wife was crying bigtime because she loved that fish. I had to do something. He was stiff and crispy but since his gills were moving I proped him up in a floating breeder box. Pointed the incoming water directly in his mouth and in the morning he as perfectly fine. I was amazed and best of all saved the day for my lovely wife!

 

Wow what a feast. I wish I had a reliable contact at Reef Nutrition that could help me out sometimes.

Any thoughts on amino acid food Greg?

I use Warner Marine Aminos soaked in his Ultimate Snow.
