I have a yellow tang, a sixline, 2 clowns and a chromis (oh, and a mantis). They're all fat and happy, and my nutrients stay low. NO3 has never been detectable, no algae to speak of, and better colors than I ever had before.
Brad, first let me say, "WOW". Very nice. Interesting on the feeding

notes. I would guess, as many running similar tanks do, feed more and

run larger skimmers would work also. Many seem to be having a problem

with not enough nutrients to keep the corals happy in a similar system?

And then with others, its the nitrate build up, when they try feed more

to follow that line of thinking. Who knows. Do you think the yellow

finds other food to graze on? My smaller fish would be fine with a similar

feeding as yours but I know my copperband would not and I have been

wishing to add a smaller tang to my 75g.
