thankyou very much guys for all of your comments. the only thing i can say about getting your zoos to grow faster is just good params,light,and patience. the only matinance that i do on the tank is change 3-5gallons a week,scrub the tank daily with the magfloat,and clean the powerheads and skimmer when they need them. The tank has been setup a year and 5mths. Feeding is 3times a day daily. For the flame angel he gets nori on a clip daily. The food i feed is: Brine shrimp,cyclops,mysis,live dt's,and flake food. i will post pics of the new additions later today.
