That's a magnificent tank :thumbsup:

Could you tell us what invertebrate foods you use?
 
Welcome to RC

You have a very nice aquarium.

Are you planning to remove all the photosynthetic corals: LPS, SPS and soft corals? or leaving the aquarium mixed reef?

Beautiful tank Luca!!!

I too would love to hear your specifics on feeding....keep up the good work!!!

:rollface:
 
Thanks everybody! :lolspin::wave:

@ Aquabacs, the SPS have been all removed, as most of the soft corals; nevertheless the tank will remain a mixture of LPS and gorgoniacei of various species"¦

Every day I feed the corals when lights are off with Korallen-Zucht Amino Acid LPS, Coral Vitalizer and 100 ml of living Phytoplancton (50 ml Nannochloropsis "“ 50 ml Tetraselmis). While once a week I give them either Elos SVC or a phial of Prodibio Reef Booster or NutraPlus Complete Feed; Energy FD Cyclops, Kent Zooplex and PhytoPlex. When I can I feed them with live food (Artemia and Rotiferi).
