Ditto on the rockwork. I wish I had the patience for that. Can't wait to come see it in person (hopefully)

Mike...looks great! One question--how often do you feed your sun coral (I think I spotted one)? And how do you feed it when it's "mounted" upside down like that?

Very nice tank!

I used to feed my sun corals every other night or so. You can entice it to open, or wait for it to open on its own before injecting it with mysis, or another meaty food. I used to use a syringe and rigid or semi rigid airline tubing to direct the food right into the tenticles without getting wet. I found mine liked cyclopsis mixed in with meaty foods, and phytoplankton.

Thank you very much. I direct feed my sun coral with mysis every 3days. I also use reef roids twice a week, which they all get some of. I also feed everything else twice a day with frozen foods...and yes, I use to have around 20-30 Nitrates in this tank and my previous tank until I started using Reef Resh....now it stays at 0
