That's the My Miami. I'd like to move it so I can pull more blue out of it. It seems to be happy and growing.

Hi, some posts above, you mention you do supplemental dosing, what exact items do you dose? -You have such awesome colours on your corals!

Since you are running your tank with such a HUGE skimmer, does it ever end up over skimming your tank to the point of the skimmer not producing skimmate, or making your tank "too clean"?

Thanks! I dose Reef Plus by Seachem. Is a must do....probably not but I always have and see no ill effects of it. I also feed Reef Nutritions Oyster Feast. I dose about twice a week with both.

Judging on the environment that some of these corals come from I think its impossible to "over skim" especially if I'm feeding every day. I try to replicate the oligotrophic environment that these corals originally come from, so keeping the water very clean and well oxygenated is my target. Nutrients in and nutrients out. If I could Id throw an even bigger skimmer on it..LOL!

That is one beautiful tank you have there.

All these cubes and nano tanks I keep seeing are making me want one more and more!

Thank you very much! I love a cube or a deeper dimension aquarium. They make aquascaping much easier.

Thanks! I do 5gal every other week.

sounds manageable in comparison to my old 30gal every two weeks i was doing on my old 220dt system! lol. i like how you go with over skimming and heavy feeding. makes alot of sense to me. corals love to feed and skimmers love to pull waste! i am getting the tank itch again , i'm in trouble , lol
