absolutely man i myself wouldnt try that filefish and anthias are known to be very tricky eaters and finiky fish:P

its cool that the filefish eats frozen off sticks id like to see a video of that

Shall do ,once I can find some more SPS skeletons. I've used up all of mine so now she's eating my millipora until I get more in hand.

I shall also buy a phosphate test kit on my crusades tomorrow.

ETA : I'm also assuming getting a pH buffer wouldn't hurt either ,to help bring it up to around 8.3 ??

re test your ph throughout the day first and see what the differences are and do so for a couple of days, adding buffer is a last resort.


when you get the test kit and you test for phosphate if there is any consider looking into a reactor to run some gfo.it will keep algae away and even keep you from cleaning the glass less.
