[fishytime]

A little while ago I posted in a thread about how many fish would you put in 230G....post #24.... http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...9&page=3.....I got a pretty big surprise tonight Tony dropped by with his "nitrate reading electronic gadget" (wanted to word that so as to avoid any smart-arse comments) and he tested the water for me....I was in the middle of getting ready to do a w/c when I got the PM from Tony about coming over so I postponed the actual water swap til after he came....it had been three weeks since my last w/c(got busy and lazy last week when it was due)....I will give you all a run down of the bioload on the tank.....20ish fish, 11 clams, an oyster, a bit of coral,5(yes 5) BTAs, 2 sea fans, a gorg, feather duster, 2 cocoworms, 2 tuxedo urchins, linkia and fromia starfish, I have no idea how many snails and hermits....guessing probably 40-50 snails and 20 or so hermits, pom-pom crab, many acro crabs, I feed the fish generously once a day in the evening, almost always with rinsed frozen....I feed the recommended dosage of the following to the corals....KZ's AA, CV, SP, Xtra, Stylo-Pocci, and Kents Phytomax and Zoomax......Give it some thought and venture a guess....whats the magic nitrate number???
