You are definitely doing something right! I got the psychoberry about a month ago. I can't wait for it to get to the size of yours.

Lol...Aquaforest all the way. But I add extra Potassium and lugols iodine. I feed my home made recipe everyday the whole tank. If I remember then extra AF pure food once a week. My home made recipe has AF foods and reef roids.

Thanks man, I don't keep it simple lol...but not too hard as well. The main thing is my dosing which is easily taken care by AF dosing schedule. I am lazy so premixed the coral food in my fish food.

lol, no way! I tried twice but couldn't deal with the sad looking sps. I saved a pic of my poor green slimer from when the angel was eating it to remind me to never get one again, lol.

Mine started picking my SPS a bit and was trying to be a bully. But my Hippo immediately showed him he will not allow any bully in the tank. Then I started feeding him multiple time and now he stays away from them. He even munched one of acan...

Since starting the auto water change with the reef salt, I have not dosed 3+ because Mg seem to alway be high. If this continues I am going to mix 3+ without Mg so that I get the potassium and the minerals still.

My Mg is always high when using the Reef Salt. I have mixed my Component 3 without the Mg for a couple of months now and my Mg is slowly dropping.

Thank you, and good to see you have the same thought.

How are your colors?

Today I was standing and looking at my tank and realise my tank is growing at a good pace. So, a comparative FTS from the past and today.

February..

Thanks Bubba, I was wondering how much they grew and then I found the FTS from February.
By the way I forgot to ask about the copperband. How is that guy doing?

He didn't eat the masstik, live clams, PE mysis or pellets for 2 - 3 weeks. I was getting pretty worried but I would see him pecking at the rocks so I knew he was eating something. One day out of the blue he just started eating the frozen food I was giving the rest of the fish. I now see him waiting at the side of the tank with the other fish waiting to be fed. I think I am in the clear now with having any issues.

Mine still refuse to eat pellet. Actually when I throw some pellets in the tank he rushes to the site and then look confuse about what to eat???;Hilarious;Hilarious;Hilarious
But it eats everything frozen so I am hopeful it will learn.
