A few pics taken with my little blue LED flashlight while feeding last night---I know, I'm such a nerd when it comes to searching around at all the cool stuff in the middle of the night.

I assume you fed the tank a couple hours after lights off when they have the best PE and then turned the lights on to take pictures?

No. These pics were taken in the greenhouse at night with a small blue LED flashlight prior to feeding.

Dr Mac, what time do you feed and what do you feed?

Usually a few hours after lights go out. I make a fish blend and a coral blend: fish eggs, oyster eggs, enhanced brine Shrimp, live copepods, live rotifers, live phytoplankton, assorted pellets dissolved in all above. The fish blend has less phyto and more eggs.
