Ok so figure I’d let u all in on how I feed my fish

I buy LRS reef, herbivore, and fish frenzy. (I also have lrs fish eggs on hand)

I mix 1/6 th of the fish eggs in a ziplock bag with the reef, herbivore, and fish along with one and a half of the bags of ro water and get this (the bag is usually full I’m almost done in this picture) I usually let it thaw in the fridge to get a water consistency

I use a tlf the thing

I have these cool ice cube trays that are like rubber so I suck out some of the food mix and fill up the ice cube trays.

I will go thru the whole bag of food making them into “lrs cubes”

When I’m done takes about six hours I have a consistent amount of food in the same form. I feed two of these ice cubes(sometimes 3) a day and by doing this I can usually go 3-4 months and do not have to worry about food.
Also it is easy to show someone how to feed the tank if I’m away take an ice cube drop it in.

I used to thaw before I fed but the fish don’t mind it being frozen plus I sometimes put it on one of the holes on my penductor and as it melts food gets shot thru out the tank

So this is what and how I feed my fish feel free to steal the idea it is so easy and after it is frozen not messy at all

It would be a fishy drink

And that is exactly why I got the little freezer. She is much more sensitive to stuff like that than I am.

Just ordered another t-5 retro to add to my tank so it will now be
T-5
T-5
Xho
Halide
Xho
T-5
T-5

Ocd fixed

I am also thinking of adding a frag tank Above my sump
It will take a little work but I think it might be worth it for the added water volume and the ability to grow my frags out and place them where they will look good

I just have to move my sump over 6 inches remove two shelves slide a metal stand under the sump so tonight I am going to measure everything out if it is not to much work I think I’m a do it

I wish I could have thought this out in the beginning as I have a ish ton of electronics and shelving in the way

Sump gets moved to the right remove center shelf and pray that’s all I have to move (besides the plumbing) gosh I hope it works out

 

[justingraham]

So light switch is happening thanks @HolisticBear for reminding me to take pics to document

Halides hopefully will fit in the middle

 

[justingraham]

Thanks @locito277 without you my tank would be darker then the blackest night
