I agree!!! The Flame Angels help feed those Anthia's.

The tank about 1 year ago. You can see I have cleared some of the over grown corals out and gave the fish some more swim area.

Those are some really big fish! Seeing your tank I should really add more anthias...

Anthias are great in a reef tank, very well behaved and very beautiful.

I know the feeling that is why I occasionally make a video. The tank is 13 years old and 400 gallons so if something goes wrong I still can enjoy what I had.

Could I ask your feeding routine for the angels and tangs?

steve bergmann · Oct 11, 2023

I do have a Neptune auto feeder that goes off 4 times a day but that is mostly for the Anthia's. The tank has plenty of food for the Tangs on just algae. Same for the Angels the tank is well established. Many of the fish and shrimp lay eggs as well which just contributes to other fish having extra food. In addition to the 400 gallon tank I have 200 gallons of extra sump tanks which gives a safety ground for other things to multiply and get pumped into the tank and feed the fish.

Thanks, I tried to make it to look like a reef you would see diving. Damsels tend to hang at the bottom, Anthia's and Chromis at the top and tangs and Angels going wherever they like.
