So what is the large pipe between tanks? Do the fish swim through it? looks big enough in comparison to the angel

I have over 200 species of corals in this tank.

The Cheatodon Collare

Everytime i see them pecking at a coral is shout with joy.
That'S the only thing keeping them alive, because after a week they still won't accept feeding.

Have you tried black worms? I could not get my butterflies to eat then bought some dried black worms and rehydrated them. They were taking them out of my fingers in days.

These are regularly bred here by freshwater aquarists as live food. They are probably available where you are, too, but possibly by a different common name. The worms used are Lumbriculus variegatus. Perhaps you could search locally for that name.

Glenn, can you give us your photoperiod for all lights?
I see that you are a strong believer in Boron.
What do you think is the benefit of adding it or what is its purpose in your opinion?
I am thinking about supplementing my tank with it.. figured I'd ask.......

I don't really have an oppinion of boron.
All i know from lectures is that i help with percipitation inside stony corals.
I do know since i level my boron an start controlling all essential parameters my sps coral growth and coloring took off.

So yeah ... i think adding boron must be beneficial.
