    I got a 125 FW catfish tank and once in a while I'll get a $1 portion of bloodworms for em. Probably 500 5" worms for $1! Just for the heck of it I squirted a few in my reef and all my fish went nuts! Like Crack Cocaine nuts! Zinging across the tank and such. I definetely wasn't target feeding the palys. I just randomly squirted some in the tank and some landed on that rock. They turned brown as soon as they hit the salty water and squirmed like I've never seen them squirm. Anyone else feed bloodworms to their reef?

    I'm pretty sure everyone in wisconsin has these same palys in their tank. I grow like 10 new heads a day and have to give them the kalk ball. One rock I shouldn't have put in the reef.

    Beautiful tank, what type of light fixture is that and what bulbs are you running?

    The light fixture is the famous state of the arc odyssea T5 4x54.
    1-54w GE Starcoat 6500k T5
    1-54w ATI AquaBlue Special T5
    1-54w UVL 454nm T5
    1-54w UVL Super actinic

    I love the color and growth it gives off. Would like to swap out the fixture for some retros once I get my canopy but it works for the meantime.

    I have about 40lbs of LR cookin in the tank next to my 72. I'll be adding it soon so it will give me more room for corals and I can finally start gluing some more in place. Its been some BS with my mexican turbo knocking everything over.
