Wow, good question Will. I can't believe I didn't think to list that out here. I'm sorry. I'll list it out here and the copy that into the initial post just so that anyone else wondering doesn't have to sift through the whole thread to find that info.

Tank background:
- 115g cube tank (30x30x30)
- Approx 80 lbs live rock arranged in a bommie, or "rock island" style aquascape
- 1" sandbed (about a 4" wide strip surrounding the bommie)
- no refugium (previously was running chaeto in a small aquaclear lit by 2x9w PC; but this is now offline, the chaeto was the first algal casualty to the pellets)
- 2 part autodosing for Ca and Alk, Mg dosed manually
- Skimmer: Precision Marine "Bullet 1" beckett
- Light: single 250w DE on 12 hour photoperiod

Inhabitants:

There are 15 fish in this tank:
- Tangs: Zebrasoma desjardini (Red Sea sailfin), Acanthurus tennentii (lieutenant), A. nigrofuscus (lavender)
- Rabbit: Siganus doliatus (penciled)
- Angels: Centropyge potters (potters), M/F pair Genicanthus bellus (bellus)
- Butterflies: pair Chaetodon ulietensis (doublesaddle or false falcula)
- Wrasse: Halichoeres chrysus (canary)
- Dottyback: Psuedochromis fridmani (orchid)
- Eel: Gymnothorax melatremus (golden dwarf moray)
- Trigger: Xanthicthys mento (crosshatch)
- Chromis: Chromis viridis (green)
- Blenny: Cirripectes stigmaticus (ember or scarface)

Other inhabitants:
- Various tridacnids (T. derasa, T. crocea, T. squamosa)
- Various ps gorgonians
- Various zoanthids
- E. quadricolor (rose BTA)

Currently no SPS or LPS (would be butterfly food).

Shawn,

We have two sizes normally available 1000ml and 500ml, the amounts of Pellets to run is a matter of opinion and or trial but not error, you cannot overdose the Pellets. I would suggest you take a peak at our website for pricing on the Pellets, you are also welcome to give us a call so we can make arrangements to get some into your hands...

Ian
O.C.

Ive had the pellets going in 2 of my tanks for 1 week now. Both are using a TLF reactor with a mesh mod and a maxijet 1200. Each has a little less than 500ml of pellets. Both tumble nicely... but one tank is making tons of mulm.. enough that its coating the intake and exhault tubes, which then reduces flow and the pellets stop tumbling. I clean the hoses and its fine again for a day. The only difference I see in the setups is the one that is making so much white gunk gets alot of light from the refuge... any ideas??

Just was watching the fish after dinner here, watching the ember blenny scoot around and I realized .. I forgot to list him. So it's actually 15 fish in there. (List updated...)
