Im currently going through fallow again and its worse now that the tank is mature. I auto feed my tank pellets 4 times a day and frozen once a day aswell as dose nitrate and phosphates just to keep them stable LOLI am dreading this in a major way, but velvet doesn't leave me much alternative but to go fallow in my SPS display.
I've been pretty successful with heavy in / heavy out fish poo as my sole nutrient source. How have you successfully kept your acropora during a fallow period?
Wow I am kinda surprised, but maybe I shouldn't be. I recall your history with Dinos. I just haven't thought this through. Previous posts have been very casual about fallow feeding but your "keep feeding the same" philosophy makes some sense to me.
Yea i never understood how people fed less during fallow when infact should be more since you wont have fish producing constant waste that the bacteria and corals consume throughout the day.
Well truth be told to all that followed this thread, I chickened out on fallow. I lost two established fish right at the beginning of the outbreak and the rest all eventually "recovered". Even my ich magnet Powder Blue pulled through, although he was demoted from tank boss by the Yellow tang.
