Sorry to hear about your shrimp.
We do not supplement any of our 2.5, 7 or 42 gal reefs, but do weekly 10-15% water changes and other weekly maintenance instead. The frequent water changes, IMO,...

Re: Trevor, How's the Plate Coral Doing?
The brown fingers, as you describe them, don't get really long. When healthy and at the size the plate is now, about 2.5 - 3", the fingers will be less than a quarter of an inch long. It's these...

I guess the subject line says it all. How IS the plate coral doing in your new reef? Is it puffing out every day a few hours after lights on? This is a good sign, BTW.
