About 2 weeks ago I merged my 3 tanks into 1, namely a Red Sea Reefer 250.
Equipment:
What do I feed by fish?
I like to feed a mix of shrimp eggs, fish eggs, mysis and flakes.
For the shrimp & fish eggs, I feed both over a period of 3 days, before switching to another, and the flakes I feed every now & again. Every day I feed 1 small block of mysis for my Skunk Tilefish.
What do I feed my coral?
So apart from dosing different kinds of trace elements, such as:
I experience enhanced growth & enhanced coloration when I feed them, I've tried feeding thawed out marine fish, but I didn't get anywhere near the colours I'm getting right now.
I'd like to document my progress & update this thread as my tank continues to grow & evolve.
Some pictures of 2 of my old tanks:
Here are two pictures of my new tank.
I'm hoping my Euphyllia Glabrescens will fill in the top right corner over time, and that the two corals in the middle, above my anemone's will recover from not doing well in my previous tanks.
