Nice Tank I've had my 55 gallon up now for about a month, no corals yet, still researching.
So in my research I have found that with the 4 corals that I have you do not have to feed them. I like to feed them so that they grow faster. The one that eats the best is the Candycane. Night is when I feed it and I feed it cyclopese which is some bar of stuff I got at the LFS. I use a syringe to squirt the cyclopese into the coral polpys. I also give some to the other corals and the mushrooms close up over it. The other corals I am not sure if they eat it or not. Hope that helps.

Thanks! I am really happy with the tank. I currently have a lawnmower blennie in QT so I should have some more additions in next couple of weeks.
Our new LFS is specializing in corals
so hopefully he will keep the cool stuff in stock!
Have you tried mail order?
