Hello All!

I'm fairly new to R2R. I thought I would introduce myself through my tank. This is a Marineland 60 cube. It turned 1 year April 13, 2013. It receives a large suspension feeding followed by a 50% water change every week. Running the tank are 3 Koralia 550 pumps and a CPR BakPak with an Accela pump upgrade. The light is (for now) a Tao Tronic Tablet. It is run for 8 hours a day, the light is going to be replaced with a custom made multi color lens tablet that is dimmable, custom commissioned. The salinity is kept at 1.023 PH 8.1-8.3 Cal 440 KH 11.5 Salt used is Instant Ocean Reef Crystals. Product used to feed the corals during the suspension feeding is as follows.

Britewell:
Microvore
Macrovire
PhytoGold
PhytoGreen-all varieties
Koral Color
Zooplanktos-all varieties
Fauna Marin Zoa Chalice Powder
Black Jack Reef Crack Dragon Dust

(all ingredients are mixed and sit together for 10 mins before feeding)

Fauna Marin LPS growth and color formula is given every other week to all LPS in the tank.

Fish inhabitants & Shrimp:

Scopas Tang
ORA Gold Flake Maroon Clown
Randalls Goby
Hi-fin banded goby
flag/flame tail goby
banded shrimp goby
mated pair of yellow watchman gobies
2 barnacle blenny's
peacock/tail spot blenny
Blue & Yellow fork tail blenny
ORA Indigo Dottyback
Mated Pair of Sexy Shrimp
Mated Pair of Skunk Cleaner Shrimp
Harlequin Shrimp
Pistol shrimp paired with hi-fin goby
3 chromis
1 blue eye female Anthias
cherub Angel
Target Mandarin

I think that's everyone....lol

as for corals the tank is mainly zoa, play, & acan filled.

Happy Reefing

Welcome to r2r! Love your detail on the feeding. Can you elaborate a little more on it. How often you feed? Can you show a picture of your lights?

It's a color enhancing vitamin you add to your tank. I however take the shortcut and add it directly to my suspension feeding routine once a week.
