Here they are on my 72 gallon bow front. Hope these help.

Mysis shrimp, formula 2 flakes.

He has been grazing on the LR a lot, but has not eaten any of the food during feeding time. I have 2 clowns, 1 foxface, and 2 chromies.

I bought a new Kole Tang yesterday. I drip acclimated for 3 hours, put him in the tank. He seems to be extremely shy.. Is it normal for him to be so shy?

Is there a much higher chance of having an algae problem in a reef tank? Thank you.

What can I buy that would be a good diatom eater? My foxface does okay, but I need something else. Any specific kind of snail, or crab? Thank you.

Thank you for taking the time to write all of that, it helps a lot! I have been really happy with the filter thus far, it has only been running though for 7 weeks. Thanks again.

I was wondering how ofter I should clean this filter. Should I just rinse the media with water? Do I use saltwater or freshwater to rinse the baskets? Thank you!

I had a CC star for over a year, I gave him away when I was ready to buy an anemone. Anyways, he would always go to the top of the tank when he was ready to feed. I would slip him some krill, and he would be good to go.

Will that amount of nitrates cause an algae bloom? I had a really bad hair algae problem in my old tank so I'm paranoid it will happen again.

No not yet, I'm at 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, and 20 nitrate. I was going to wait until my nitrates were at 0 but would it be okay to add some CUC now?

Glass, sand, and LR.

I have all of this stuff covering my 6 week old tank. I'm almost positive it's diatoms, but just wanted to be sure. Here are a couple pictures:

You could go with a dwarf angel. I like the flame and coral beauty personally.

Looks like diatom algae to me, which is completely normal for a new tank and will probably last for about 6 months. After that time it will go away on it's own.. Is it also on your sand bed?

I had a coral beauty in my 55 gallon reef and he/she never touched my coral.

I think your good also. I wouldn't add anymore, but it sounds good to me.

I have made threads like this before but I'm still up in the air so maybe some feedback will help me make up my mind. I have a 72 gallon bow front, as of right now I have 3 chromies, foxface, and 2 percula's. I want to add a flame angel, kole tang, six-line wrasse, some kind of gobie or blennie...

Will do. Thank you for the help.

My refreactometer is about 6 months old. The LFS I bought it from told me it should be recalibrated every 3 months or so.... I think thats what they said anyway.
