Here it is!Looking good! I love the Spotbreast Angel too! I'm partial to the Genicanthus genus myself!
There is a new pic for you.I think you must have this.
I’d never come across NPS before - thank you for opening my eyes.
beautiful!
15-20g eggs everytime.I'm sorry but can you elaborate more on the brine shrimp part? How many grams of eggs do you hatch per week and how often you feed the tank with brine shrimps? Do you broadcast or target feed your corals?
Thank you!Beautiful tank. And congrats for TOTM!
I just broadcast feeding.Most of the claws can catch the shrimp.I think that this is the first tank I've ever seen that has truly blown my mind. I love those bright blue gorgonians. Very well done! Do you target feed your NPS, or has simply broadcast feeding been sufficient? If it's as "simple" as broadcast feeding regularly and keeping nutrients down, I might need to put some NPS in my 65.
Blue blue blueExcellent...I am totally jealous.
Broadcast feeding.15-20g eggs everytime.Hi, beautiful tank, could you elaborate more on your feeding strategy? I did not know you could keep those corals on brine shrimp alone…..thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing the information!There was one study conducted to determine the concentration of brine shrimps needed for Acropora Millepora, Horn Coral and Duncan to display their maximum feeding rates. They found that it takes between 50 brine shrimps per ml to 120 brine shrimps per ml for all three corals to achieve that goal. They also found out that it doesn't matter whether you feed the corals during daytime or nighttime.
Assuming there are 250 000 brine shrimp eggs in 1g, for a 155-galon tank that means:
Reference: "Optimizing heterotrophic feeding rates of three commercially important scleractinian corals"
- At 15g, the concentration is 6.4 brine shrimps per ml.
- At 30g, the concentration is 12.8 brine shrimps per ml.
- At 200g, the concentration is 85.2 brine shrimps per ml.
Thanks.A new pic for u.Absolutely gorgeous tank! Congrats! Well deserved.
How about this one?I'm not going to lie, I thought this was fake for a second until I clicked the banner and read the thread. This looks amazing

How about this one?Love it.
Thank you!A new pic for you first.Very nice tank. NO light or skimmer is so different than what we are used to.
I do wish you had shared more info about this setup. How much and how often water is changed? How and what exactly you feed? Specific NPS species and care requirements.
Out of all of the Reef of The Month write ups, this is the one where we could really use all of the little details.
