Merulina ampliata

[Acro]

Bruce,

I personally don't think that is a ruite I would take. My orginal thoughts were on feeding heavy at night and totally cleaned up by morning. Which probably isn't possible even with the powerful skimmers we use today. The question came up on shutting down the skimmer for a period of time. My thoughts on that were just to put the waste feed back into the sump as there are more benifits to running a skimmer then nutreint export alone. If one did decide to try something in this manner. I don't think there is a problem with adding skimmate back to a tank. I'm sure there could be if one dump a large collection cup back into the system. I beleive that in order to pull the best colors from stoney corals you need a nutreint poor system which does sacrfice some growth. That was why it would be nice to feed the tank the nutreints at a controled rate but also haveing the ability to clean it up after the feeding fast.
