I get ya!
BTW, where did you get the golden pearls? All I use right now is DT's and new born cleaner shrimp.
I was actually thinking a refugium/shrimp farm might supply a fair amount of food for those with polyps big enough to grab them. Thoughts on that?

I won a whole buch of them at the PSAS meeting a few weeks ago. I like the stuff.. one bag of 60micron will last years. I use the measuring spoon out of my salifert test kits to feed the tank. One and a half for now. And that is TONS. RIght after I started feeding that stuff I saw more algae on my glass. Which was then scraped off and fed the corals.

I like the idea of the shrimp hatchery/refugium. I may throw some cleaner shrimp into my 30 fuge in this new tank. what a good idea.. mind if I try it? I know my tank goes into a feeding frenzy when they do spawn.

Tho I don't have any shrimp right now. Had to move them with the new dottyback. :eek: But I will get some soon. [img]smile.gif[/img] great idea.

I'll see if I can get some of those.

On the shrimp thing, I'm concerned that they all spawn on a timed cycle. Adam mentioned his were spawning...I came home and so were mine. Unless they spread out over the month, it would only be 1 or 2 treat nights a month! I'll research it a bit to see if they spawn any/all the time or only on the 30th of the month :D
If they spewed babies sporadically, it might make a great natural food source.
