Which Gorg is that, the yellow one? Why do you say that? I have a huge Hammer now and a octospawn & frogspawn love them.

Both of them are what I call "sucker sales". That is to say, store owners breath a sigh of relief after they get rid of those things. They require too much effort to keep alive (in the form of feedings, the frequency of which quickly becomes obnoxious to the average reef keeper) and quickly decline in the confines of most store displays and/or reef tanks. You can see some of this happening in your specimens in the form of the smaller than usual polyps and receded tissue.

You don't need full zeo on your system if you want corals to thrive
Like i said at the start of this thread, keeping all of your levels stable is the #1 thing you can do for coral growth. Lighting is a factor but i know you have that covered after talking to you. I have heard of alot of people having great sucess with the system but you also have to remember its very time consuming and everything has to be done on a schedual which means it makes it that much harder to go away unless you have someone to look after your tank twice a day keeping up with your schedual. To me i personally like to keep things as simple as possiable. Once you start complicating things there are to many variables that can go wrong.

I usually feed my LPS corals with mysis shrimps once a week. When the tentacles come out, LPS will grab and hold on to the food before closing up on it. Mysis shrimps are good size and you get good growth with it. I usually do it 2 days before a water change so that I can clean the polution afterwards
 No other additives. Actually, most of your corals can "eat" mysis shrimps!As was mentioned above, the yellow Gorg does look nice but it is very hard to keep them alive for longer periods as they are NOT photosynthtic.
