How are the anthias that is a nice shoal. I had a shoal of unidentified anthias (five) now down to one. two jumped and two just up and died some where. Your tank is looking great.

Thanks!

I lost one Orange Anthias and a Sunburst.

I still have 5 Bartletts, 3 Orange, 2 Sunburst, 3 Princess and 1 Randalls. The two female Princesses are getting skinny, I need to try some live brine. Everyone else is super fat. I installed an automatic feeder. It's made feeding my fish very easy.

What kind of automatic feeder did you install and where'd you put it?

Just curious,

Thanks

It's a really cheap and simple device.

The wheel makes two revolutions every 24 hours. The orange tube scoops up food, then as the tube turns, it dumps the dry pellets out the other end. It's resting on the screen I made.

Haha wow, been a while.. Hmm lets see, I haven't really done much to the tank. Money's tight in the commercial construction industry so not a lot of funds to go toward coral.

I neglected the tank for a while, nitrates got up to about 20. Corals started disappearing. I did two 80 gallon water changes four days apart. Everything's looking really good now.

I went through a battle with flat worms. I used Flatworm Exit three seperate times. I think I've finally gotten them under control.

The 180 isn't goint to happen. I sold the tank, pumps, rocks etc. Still trying to sell the stand and canopy. I just don't have time or money for a second tank in my office.

I feel you on the cash flow brother. Owning your own small buisness pretty much sucks right about now.
