So....we know what butterflies not to add to a SPS tank I had a couple questions Glennf but will post elsewhere after I catch up on some reading. My 240 is in the house now so getting ready to cycle. While I personally do not keep SPS outside a frag or two your tank is an inspiration. There are a couple tanks I like to keep in touch with yours being one.

Thanks again for always posting, updating, and sharing of videos. It is really amazing to see what some of you guys / gals can do.

Your tank is fantastic. Please continue to post pictures. I am in the process of starting a 120 myself and aspire to have one that looks like yours.

Are you trying to ween your angels from their taste for coral? Or, adding variety to their diet?

But i will do my best to inspire you guys with my unconventional ways of reefkeeping.

You mean butterflies is think

I try to get them eating and keep them alive with corals first.
Later on i gradually try get them accept other food.

Glenn, at one point you had another tank under your stand that was full of shells or something. Did you take that out? You mentioned it was going to be removed before.

I'm thinking you only have a small sump, skimmer, and dosing pumps on your show tank for "œfiltration". Filter wool on the return pump. Is this correct?
