Lance's 225 gal tank

[Delphinus]

Got mine from Oceanic - http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=131

There's also a slightly larger version for $20 more (http://www.oceaniccorals.com/store/i...&productId=132 ) if you really want to go nuts (actually I think there are 2 to 3 sizes up technically).

I think one could already easily run 2litres of pellets without any output foam in the standard sized one though.

To give you an idea of what's going on in my tank: 14 fish, fed 5 times per day via autofeeder, plus nori once or twice a day, plus mysis once per day, PLUS frozen krill or whatever the eel eats .. and zero nitrates.

holt crap Tony you feed alot i thought that i was bad 3-4 times with flakes and brine

Holy mother of pearls!!! Man, and I thought I was overfeeding. Compared to Tony I am virtually starving my fish! that's it I'm cranking up the autofeeder! Thanks to the pellets my nitrates ran to zero pretty quick. I didn't have a lot of the clumping issues that people are having but running the pellets in a TLF phosban is kind of annoying and I will be getting a bigger reactor.

They don't dump a lot in at a time but enough to keep the fish chasing the pellets for a minute or so.

I didn't used to feed this often but I wanted to see how far I can push the pellets. Smaller feedings more often is a more natural approach IMO.

Plus with the flukes thing, I wanted to make sure everyone was eating so that their immunities were fully charged, so to speak.
