Feeding Time

[silver surfer]

Just wanted to post a quick video. Much as i enjoy my corals, I'm in the hobby for the fish!

By the way, the coral on the right side of the tank is a torch...

Sounds like a really nice setup and some great choices on the livestock. I have blotches and Lyretail Anthias, but have always wanted a fathead.

Here are some photos of the set up. I am getting ready to add an additional 100g to the system.

The sump is in the basement.

Very impressive! I can tell you spent some time designing this setup and looks really clean and organized. What are you planning on doing with the extra 100 gallons?

 

[rdnelson]

Wow!!!! Sweet set up.

 

[skriz]

Very clean setup; well done!

Since I have 26 fish in a 120, I have decided to increase the overall water volume by adding the additional 100gallons. I feel it will keep the system more "stable". My levels stay in check with the dosing pump and both reactors but...bigger is better.

To be honest, I thought the tang police would be all over me by now or at least the Obama administration.

Nice setup! Maybe the tang police met their quota for the month.

Wow maybe I should hire u for my tank build

Your tank looks very healthy, fish fat and happy.

Hey!
I am not familiar with the magnet style feeders you have there.
Can you provide some details?

Also...what are you feeding them here?

Thanks!!

Nice set up:up:

It is a veggie clip by two little fishies. Pure Reef in alpharetta sells them. I have two of them loaded when I am ready to feed. I am feeding Ocean Nutrition Seaweed Selects brown and green Marine Algae. I also use them for clams on the half shell. My wrasses and trigger go nuts for them.

I like the magnetic clips, so I can keep the algae low in the tank (my tangs prefer eating from above)without putting my hands in the tank.

I am a firm believer in a good diet for your fish. I have 15-16 different types of food I like to feed.

Edit: Here is a quick video of the tank
