Thank you ecotoxlady.
Mrs.kbmdale - Thank you for all the compliments.
Here are my tank parameters: Ph ~8.1, Ca ~400, Dkh ~9, NO2 ~0, NO3 ~0, Mg ~1250
For filtration I keep it pretty simple a CPR HOB fuge & an Aqua C Remora Skimmer.
The fuge is packed with chaeto and it has an 18w pc over it, this keeps the nitrates right where I like them. I run the fuge lights the same time as my regular lights because it is a HOB.
Lighting consists of Four 75 watt VHO bulbs, 1 Aquasun, 1 50/50 and 2 actinics.
Water Changes: 3 gallons every other Sunday and every 3 months I do a 6 gallon change.
Additives: 2 drops of lugols every week. 1 tsp of Tech CB 3X a week. 1 tsp of Tech M every week.
Here is a pic of those palyps that you were asking about, and the little guys, clowns. I can't stand the look of powerheads in my tank so that is why I didn't show a shot of the whole thing. I wish I had a sump and a small closed loop for better flow. Maybe on the next tank.
ficklefins - As you can see my photography skills are definitely lacking. I can't seem to get a good shot of the tank from the top.
I used to use cyclop-eeze religiously, until I went to the Coral Farmers Market in L.A. a few weeks ago.(It was the first time a business trip worked out in my favor.
) I bought some stuff called Coral Frenzy from a vendor there and my corals have never responded better. I still add a little bit of cyclop-eeze because I think it is great for the fish, but I think my corals respond better to this other stuff.
Thanks Jovreefer, Is the pic above what you are talking about? That was my first coral I bought for my tank.
I would really like to hear what everybody else is using for flow, lighting, water changes, additives, etc.
