Thanks Bvlester,
Does spot feeding enhance good growth or just keeps the coral healthy, or both? Lol, i guess it should be kind of obvious but i just don't know

Just a quick update for today, I saw my little yasha goby come out from inbetween the rocks i tried to snap a quick pic but it was blurry. I hope this little goby doesn't turn out to be shy, but just as outgoing as all the others!!!
And the clowns are doing good, they like swimming across the top and going down to have a nice little dive, is this normal??? One of them is also doing a nice spasm dance for the other to show dominance... how nice?
Thanks
SeaSerpant

people spot feed to ensure that the coral is getting fed in the wild the lps use there tenticles to grab food from the ocean, however the ocean has a lot of huge food to feed the corals, our tanks dont that is why we spot feed. If you dont mind taking some advice if you can split the rock and have the elegance coral in the middle to grab the direct light and food in the middle.

THe Mh light try having it hook on the side then you can have direct light over the tank. or try running 2 smaller ones one on each side and the light in the middle. other then that , the tank is going slick........


blood shrimp are a great add to a tank like the smaller ones 2 blood shrimp
well done

Asmodeus
I tried both your ideas, when i move the MH to the side then the lid won't fit on and then i tried parting the 2 live rock mounds and then the scaping kind of looked crappy... not to mention i burnt myself on the MH lol

Would just switching the galaxy and the elegance work too?

I could rearrange everything even though i am fairly happy with the scape!... would i have to take all the corals and fish out and put them in a sepperate bucket to rescape??? or should i just not rescape?

Thanks for the comments guys, i can't wait till everything grows out! but i guess i have to!!!

EDIT: I have a different filter (fluval) that will enable me to center the light! Hurray hurrah!!! AND if i do get rid of my geckos i can put another one of the same lights on the other side!!!

Thanks
