Looking great as always GlennF. Do you have a list of butterfly fishes that are strictly coralivores that you are placing into your butterfly reef? I was wondering if you were going to try these:

Or Perhaps:

No list .
I only share out of own experience
Most fish have individual habbits, but some are indeed 100% coralivores.

I tried the cheatodon trifasciatus and had 2 of them for 3 months.
Sadly i thinks feeding. To much muscles (3days in a row) killed them.

Look for this posting:


1 was eating mysis, muscles, oysters and any deepfreeze i fed. The other one only coral.

beautiful.
anyone stateside doing this?
distributors that ship to the states?

I'm using DSR, laverda I believe is doing it, there may be others. There are no US distributors afaik. I ordered from seaflower in the Netherlands, they arranged shipping (not cheap). So I ordered bulk materials for all the products I needed, it's somewhere back in previous posts. I haven't changed water in about 8 months now, and keeping my parameters in line with DSR products. So far I've only had to use the FE+ (Po4 remover), the Nitrate additive, Iodine, and Strontium. I'm getting decent growth rates, but I need to raise my ALK after a power outage left my tank w/o power for 20 hours.

I love that you have only enough room between the BN and the glass to run your mag through :). I can imagine you run that through sometimes and it sounds like a pistol shrimp clicking away, but it's actually BN frags in the making. Successful reef keeping problems....overgrown corals!!!

No backup system during outage?
Any lost?

I use a 12volt dc/ac convertor connecter to a car battery to power 1 streamer in such cases.
