Tank looks great. I started a IM 40 a few months ago. Now I have a benchmark for 1 year.

Tank looks great. You still have the flame scallop after a year?

Thanks very much! The tank has been running for a year (including the cycle) but I've only had the flame scallop for just over four months. From my research I know they only tend to last 6 months to a year in a reef tank but I'm hopeful I can do better. (Although I also read their typical lifespan is only about 3 years anyways.) It moved around several times in the first week, but it has been in this spot ever since and seems happy and healthy. While it's not an ideal spot for visibility, I can still see it from the right side of the tank and I know not to move him.
I broadcast feed the tank pretty heavily with Reef Nutrition's Phyto Feast about every other day as I have several other filter feeders in the tank (feather duster and coco worm) and I actually spot feet him Phyto Feast probably every 7-10 days to make sure he's getting enough to eat. It seems to be working well so far and hasn't affected my tank's parameters so I'm hopeful he'll make it past the one year mark.
Thanks so much for using our Phyto-Feast. Your animals look really good and it's great to see how far this tank has come. We truly appreciate you choosing our phytoplankton product. Hope you like that density and shelf-life.
Best,
Chad
