Ruth,
IME one of the biggest things with most corals in the Pocilloporidae family is flow. Good random flow is important, especially with stylo's. They do like light but they don't usually have to be right at the top as is the case already in your reef. Depends on the shade of pink you want. Just make sure no other corals in the area are displacing flow that needs to reach that piece. I'm glad to hear those frags are doing well.
I might have some pink stuff we can talk about later.

Very awesome as usual!

I love the variety of color, and the fact that you only keep two (is it two?) firefish in the tank. In general I just love the set up and the shape of everything!

To answer a couple a questions - I am not using the zeovit system on this tank any more because I have been out of town too much and this summer looks like it will get even worse. I do still dose the Amino Acids and Pohl's coral vitalizer that are part of the zeo system. I will try and go back to the full zeo system next winter if it looks like I will be around more to maintain it.

I actually have 3 fish in this system, 2 firefish and a mandarin dragonette. The mandarin only eats pods so I try to add Arctipods about once a week to suppliment his feeding although this is a very popular choice on the menu as the firefish, shrimp and rotten hermits seem to really go after this as well.

I feed every other day and alternate between flake and a homemade frozen concoction and cyclopeese. I also dose with Phytofeast about twice a week - mostly for the clams.

That monti has morphed into something really special.

Hi Ruth

The tank looks great. I think we need a road trip. All kidding aside it is nice to see you are still in the hobbie. I thought that we had lost you a while back.

Next month I have to go to Dawson Creek for about 10 days....after day two I will need something to do. I vote to put Ruths tanks on the tanks tour. :biggrin:

Hey thanks:mrgreen:
You guys are more than welcome to come and view my tanks - send me a pm and I will give you my phone #. I am in Calgary for part of next week and my job does frequently take me out of town but if I am around we can view my tanks and I probably have some suggestions for things to do in the lovely Peace River Country.
Tom I have offered to put my tank on the tank tour - heck I have even offered to host a reef meet but no one wants to come:cry:

If you are in Calgary give me a shout. Maybe you can take a few frags home with you.
