WOW WOW WOW!! The tank is absolutely AMAZING! I wish I had the money for some serious filtration and a calcium reactor for SPS, ect for my 180 gallon, but its not going to happen any time soon as I'm only 16. lol
Thanks Leonardo, I am planning on getting some pictures taken by an actual photographer ASAP so I can do a better FTS at that time. To be honest I'm sure I have some nitrates/phosphates since I am always struggling with valona growing but I don't actually bother testing.Nice pictures Greg, do you have a larger FTS (in partitions) for us maybe?Another question, do you measure/detect any nitrates in the tank?Leonardo
Thanks very much for the compliment, I am impressed with your tank as well. I have heard that these butterflies can tend to nip at corals but that has not been my experience. They are model citizens in my reef but I also feed pellets 5 times a day, small amounts via auto-feeders. They do well in a group and school quite a bit, I have 4 of them.
Thank you
Thank you.
Many thanks.
Thanks Moses, I wish I had more money to spend on fancy equipment too.
You're very kind, thanks.
Thanks pood
I run a couple of phosban reactors with Rowaphos. My skimmer is a Euro-Reef RC500.
My front glass is 12 MM tempered Starphire and the rest is 5/8" regular........Congrats on permission to upgrade

Personally I have no problems with them and neither do any of the people I know with them but apparently like most fish they can be hit & miss.

I'm not sure I'd trust them but it is an interesting point. That said my emperor angel still picks at stuff and is starting to do some serious damage to a colony of birdnest (seriatopora caliendrum) leaving many bare skeletal patches.:mad2:Great thread Greg, thanks for that.
Looks like multiple feedings per day might be the key, ... and I wonder if this could be extended onto other butterfly species with tendencies to nip.. so long as whatever the feeders dole out is something the butterflies will eat.
