I have a question about your "own blend" of food. What is it? How do you store it? And how do you feed it 4 times a day? I, too, love the movement of softies and lps. I have added anemones of all kinds to that mix. But so far, no nps. I have an Apex autofeeder and would love to utilize it to be able to feed the gonioporas.

Your tank is going to be my inspiration. Thanks for sharing it!

Hi Michelle, I think you were not reading about my tank. I don't have my own blend. I use rods food. I don't have any soft corals in my tank either.

Yes they will get along if you introduce all of them at the same time. Otherwise they may fight. My favorite is the blue star leopard wrasse

I noticed your dosing vinegar. what pump do you use to dose it?

 

[pandimus]

Thank you. No Kalk or vinegar. I tried vinegar for a little bit but it was not helping with anything.

Nevermind.. answered my own question

Fantastic tank! Was wondering if you could go into more detail about your plumbing between the tank, sump, and refugium. Planning a 120 and debating a sump that includes a refugium vs. running a refugium separately. Trying to find different ways to plumb a separate refugium that would lead to the least chance of failure.

Congratulations!
I was surprised to see that you only had 10 fish? Did I count correctly?
If so, was this due to maintaining nutrient control?

I have the tank draining into both the refugium and the sump. The refugium drains into the sump and then the return pump pumps from the sump into the tank. I also have a check valve at the outlet of the return to prevent water from flowing back into the sump.

Less fish helps with the stability of the tank. Also the fishes are happy as they have more territory for themselves.
