How does he keep out parasite's? Or is it not a big issue with such a large tank?

He has to dip new corals and if he encounters pests in the reef, he's gotta deal with that. Like the time he mentioned having to fight AEFW on his acroporas.

Most public aquariums won't introduce new fish for a minimum of 45 days. They stay in quarantine for observation and if necessary are medicated to assure the reef tank stays disease free.

Thanks. Are fish treated in quarantine reagrdless if they look ok? If not, couldn't fish bring parasites that are living unseen in the gills?

Joe supplies more information about feedings, as requested:

"These are the foods we use: Piscine mysis, Hikari mysis, sand eels, silversides, capelin, New Era pellet and flake, New Life Spectrum pellet, Spirulina flake, Jehmco frozen copepods, V2O Arctic EZ Pods & Reef Caviar. I'll feed flake and pellet food in the A.M. and several times per day. Mysis daily, usually later in the day with sand eels, silversides, and capelin. The smaller foods are fed usually twice per day. Some food is added during the scheduled educational lectures. When people visit, I can offer food at any time. Also a smattering of LRS foods. We use more of the LRS on the smaller tanks. The tank can easily consume two pounds of mysis, two full deli cups of larger fish foods while also dining on flake & pellet throughout the day. I'll also have announcements made over the P.A. system when we are about to feed the reef."
