Instead of highjacking someone else's thread, I figured I'd start my own. I am looking for comments on my feeding and dosing regime. I would like to state my goal is a healthy mixed tank, with NPS, SPD, LPS and softies. Lofty goal, huh? So far my strategy is to throw everything against the wall to see what sticks. Here is my system:
~10 SPS colonies & frags
~20 LPS
6 varied gorgonians
4 dendronephtya
rhiozotrochus
denro's
tubastrea's
about 10 reef fish
And here is how I run it:
carbon 24/7 in 2 little fishies reactor
gfo 24/7 in another reactor
biopellets in 1500 ml reactor
nitrate reactor
calcium reactor with magnesium media added
1x feeding per day for the fish, various frozen
100 ml per day of nanno
every other day live rotifers i've raised
once per day, add about 10 ml frozn cubes to Geo kalkreactor. The cubes are frozen fauna marin seafan + clam + ultra minF + ultra minD. Have a feeder pump turn the volume over in the reactor at least 2x per day.
Eheim auto-feeder, dispensing in random intervals at night:
-coral frenzy
-coral chili
-reef roids
-cyclop eeze
-marc weiss sps coral grow & reef bugs
-reef pearls
-other powders as I find them.
Also dose fauna marin sponge power and ultra min S and ultra bak daily.
Main thing I'm interested in knowing, does anyone see anything potentially reacting against itself in this regime? Such as I run biopellets and GFO? Oh yeah, I also have a skimmer rated at 2x my total system volume.
Most everything is healthy, except my SPS seem to struggle. Some do very well, like my monti's, but I am losing some acros frags.
