So very sorry for your loss. He was a beautiful boy!
 
Give me some good flake foods to try please.
Ocean nutrition makes the best IMHO.
Prime reef flakes, formula 1 and 2 flakes are great can't go wrong.
Been using them for decades.
I'm sure the others may use different as there are many out there.
They also make brine shrimp plus, also a winner.
 
I use Ocean Nutrition Formula 2 and Prime mostly but occasionally I'll add some Formula 1 in for a varied diet - usually that's pellets for the Formula 1 though, not flakes.

I use the same.
 
Good morning everyone! Today makes 7 years that I have been married to my best friend! We were going to spend the day with his son and his sons girlfriend and my son fishing but we have bad storms thought the day so we will just have a cookout with them this afternoon in stead. I was looking forward to it but at the same time this will free me up to do some work on my tank. I have little patches of coraline algae growing on the front glass that I want to scape off and I need to catch the coral murdering shrimp and move them elsewhere before my new corals come this week.
Happy Anniversary!!
 
I am up/ slept from 5pm sunday to now...crashed out..smoked some prk butt yesterday came out great...clean the smoker today..Have enough pork to feed ya all...twice...lol...
So glad you got some real rest - and I’ll be happy to sit and eat at the table with you and your gal!
