Cool thanks dude, I will check it out. It's a part of my research for my tanks.

So what's your tank looking like so far?

It's coming along well. Check out my album on it, let me know what you think. Having a tiny red alge problem right now though.

Nevermind, just looked.

I wouldn't use any additives until you have more corals. Most of the products on the market (amino acids, etc) become waste without the requisit target biomass to take advantage of it. You could dose less, but then you run into dilution/capture issues.

Just pay attention to your basic parameters for now and spot feed whatever you can, whenever you can.

That is kinda what I was thinking, I definitly need more coral for the Zeo. But wanted to do the research just so I knew what it was all about. Anyone want to donate to my coral charity, lol.

Skip the donations. Hit up the LFS and get the biggest piece of Frogspawn you can find. Takes up a lot of room, good movement, super easy to keep, pretty cheap for a larger colony and will often eat like a pig. You can't go wrong.

BTW, I noticed you had a gorgonian in your tank - of the awkwardly gorgeous non-photosynthetic variety. Take that thing back to the store and get your money back. Thank me later.

Which Gorg is that, the yellow one? Why do you say that? I have a huge Hammer now and a octospawn & frogspawn love them.

Both of them are what I call "sucker sales". That is to say, store owners breath a sigh of relief after they get rid of those things. They require too much effort to keep alive (in the form of feedings, the frequency of which quickly becomes obnoxious to the average reef keeper) and quickly decline in the confines of most store displays and/or reef tanks. You can see some of this happening in your specimens in the form of the smaller than usual polyps and receded tissue.
