Tanks looking good. Is it February already lol. cant help much on the feeding of Lps coral, as I I only have 1 anchor hammer. I target feed him 1-2 times a week. What do you feed your sps corals?
Thats a pretty nice looking tank! I have a super soft spot for Hepatus tangs. No matter how common, they are just one of those fish! As for my LPS, I maybe directly feed them once a month, but I make up for that by feeding the crap out of my tank on a regular basis (two cubes of P.E. Mysis, some Reef Nutrition ROE and Oyster Feast and Coral Smoothie once a day on a 75).
I guess I had February on the brain when I was typing, glad you caught that. My SPS get to eat particulates and fish poop which seem to make them happy. I feed heavily too, just not usually late enough for the feeders to be out on the LPS corals.
Your tank is looking nice. How often do you view it from the garage side? In my reef, I don't spot feed LPS at all, but in the frag tank I do. To feed those corals in my reef, it would have to be after lights out with the pumps off to keep the fish from stealing it, since those corals are slow feeders. If you want a better algae scraper than what you made, use white acrylic. It's a great way to see what you missed as you scrape because the white background in your hand shows them clearly.
The Garage side has very few corals showing at this time. I see it daily though, when I empty the skimmer cup. We have not gotten around to the full game room conversion so that is why you can see some stuff hanging if you look closely through the glass. This is also why I have not put may corals on that side.
Can I see a photo of this fancy DIY scraper please?
Thank you!
