I defrost the frzn foods, then rinse in a small net under the tap, then add water (often RODI) back into the container & release most of the food back into the container. I then add 3 drops of Selcon to that food but use the net for the first feeding. Really, it sounds more complicated then it is.

Essentially:

defrost
rinse
drop back into container
add drops
swish rinse net in tank to feed fish

Also with full bellies those corals and clams won't be looking as attractive.

Mseepan, for thawing mysis, I usually just put in a small cup (shot glass size) with tank water for a few minutes, then just pour into a tea strainer discarding the water and rinse the strainer back in the tank to free the mysis. If using Selcon, once thawed, just put the mysis back in the cup and add the Selcon to them to soak for a bit.

So do you think I should be adding another air pump to eliminate the algae as well as rinsing the mysis shrimp? I keep trying to syphon the algae off the rocks and sand but it seems it just comes back the next day. I don't want this stuff to start taking over my tank. I LOVE MY TANK. Can the lack of flow cause my sand to be dirty as well? Thank you everyone for your input. I greatly appreciate it!
