Welcome!
+1 DIY food. I'm curious which recipes have worked out there. I tried a recipe out a few months back and when I used it the tank seemed to respond with dino's around the same time. Not sure if this is coincidental but I'm interested in giving it another go.
On a side note - anyone given phyto/rotifers a try? I've been dosing bottled phyto the past few weeks and my SPS seems to really be responding. I think the scrubber is making the water too clean and I want to try increasing plankton-type foods. This will get expensive (and it's not the greatest source) so I want to give the fresh stuff a try.

I think SPS take up very little phytoplankton compared to zooplankton (phyto are not their preferred food). The phyto will help the zooplankton, but in my experience the addition of phyto has always made it harder to keep algae at bay. I have tried phyto in the past several times and have discontinued use. YMMV
Yup, gotcha on the zooplankton. That's why I want to grow up some rotifers. However, to do rotifers it helps to feed them live phyto (at least according to what I've been reading). It doesn't seem to high tech but I haven't tried it yet. I suspect it might be a challenge to keep going beyond a first generation.

I'd love to go but I can't take two days off in a month, I just don't have the personal/sick time at work (have only been with the company for a year) and I was planning on going to CTARS' meeting this month.
I plan on making February though, and meeting some sweet people. Hope is goes well guys.
