Busy day at work for me again followed by a monetarily disappointing dentist visit. But it needed to be done so it had to be paid....

The way you've laid out the different species of gorgonians throughout the reef makes it look so natural, and the colors make it unique. Unbelievable brother
 
Thank you! I am trying. Honestly, I don’t check parameters, may do a water change when I think of it. Tank is basically on auto pilot. Only “filtration” is my skimmer which I skim very dry. I empty it every two, three weeks. Nothing else. No socks, high tech equipment…. Just a living, breathing piece of a reef
Do you dose anything Rock? Aminos, major elements, trace?
 
Do you dose anything Rock? Aminos, major elements, trace?
Not really. I dose ammonium, urea and phosphate daily or my nutrients bottom out with all those mouths to feed.
I feed the corals reef roids and “the concoction”. I alternate between the two. Oh, I also add a dash or two of Coral AB+ when I think of it.
Fish get fed daily with either mysis, Rods original, or pellets.
 
Kev, how much was that Angel and did you
Dang, it was a major vendor but I now can’t remember which one. It wasn’t listed for sale, I probably couldn’t afford it if it was.
