yo wats up genius???????????????? youve been lost man. any thing with your tank?
and thanks btw. and this all started cause of you man

Mysis or Krill. I also sometimes do Coral Frenzy which is a dry powder type food specially formulated for coral. When I do that I turn off all filter pumps but leave the power heads on and it circulates the powder all through the tank so that it can get picked up by the SPS polyps. Again what really feeds coral is light for the zooxanthellae symbiotic algae.

phyto is good for just about everything, but some corals do require meaty foods. In one of the books I have it says you should experiment with foods to see what it takes

Just been working man...the tank is still looking good. I did however, get a new Acropora with a little crab that came with it

I've change my tank since my last pic to give the tank more room to add some more frags, so I'll take some more pics here soon. And I'm very excitied about your tanks

 

[spanko]

Acro crabs are cool hitch hikers. Is yours a bandit crab?

 

[genius172]

Im not sure...it's a little brown thing that looks furry.

Yeah that'd look ghetto and the bicolor would pwn the royal gramma.

 

[rebelprettyboy]

I doubt that. Royal Graamas are far more aggrsive than a blenny

I had a bicolor blenny that made a 6line wrasse jump through a light diffuser, killed a purple pseudochromis and it also killed an arrow crab that got near its cave (the back fell off a maxijet900 and he used the space.)

you kinda screwed yourself by getting the sixline first because they're typically more aggressive in a smaller tank.
2 neon gobies, a hector's goby, and a rainford's goby would look cool in there and not really increase bioload much.

 

[nissan577]

well not this sixline as it was never aggressive to any of the other fish when he was in the 30g
