brine doesnt have too many nutrients. Id add vitamines to the water, or even to the water where the brine are. a small refugium will get your pod count up too which will be good for him.

I alternate between both phytoplex and zooplex whihc i add for my feather duster every few days. What vitiins do you mean?

 

[speg]

nothing wrong with doing brine once a week as your live food

Brine shrip have almost no nutritional value, but are fine as long as you supplement with other foods. How long has the live rock been in your tank? Mandarins need very established rock for food. You can check and see if he is fed by looking at his underside. The stomach will go inwards if hes starving.
That kelp looks really nice...is it real? You tank looks very clean as well. Good job.

Your tank has a different look, I like it!

That looks really nice, Skrimpz. What sort of equipment are you running as far as filtration?
