WOW really sweet color's in there Levi, can't wait for zoa frag day, hopefully it can be on a weekend and I am available to be there first in line.

4 to 8 times per day, and people give me grief for overfeeding at 3x per day ?! How do you not have NO3 and PO4 climbing away on you, how often are you waterchanging?

Last water test had me at:
NH3- 0 PPM
Nitrite- 0 PPM
Nitrate- 10-15 PPM
Will test phosphate when I steal the test kit from my bro . Water changes are in smaller increments but equate to about 15% per month.

Running the DSB Fuge with about 100 mangroves, 200 lbs of liverock, 1000g NP Biopellet in the vertex reactor, Euro reef 135 skimmer, carbon and a little bit of cheato.
My fish seem to love it and considering the polyp extention on my LPS I will continue doing so, I do larger feeding's some times right before night and have started soaking in selcon with some pretty interesting results. 5 500mg Vit C tabs are dosed daily to help out the zoas.

After feeding like this for a while I'm blown away at how many different forms of life I have going on, night time on the reef is a whole different place , btw if anyone needs cheato that is PACKED full of copepods (and limpets, live shrimp, tiger pods, bristle stars...ect...ect) shoot me a PM I have lots to spare.

Not sure if my screen is right but I'm sure I saw some pieces in there with my name on them . Looking fantastic Mr . I used to have lots of those little brittle stars, thought they where the neatest thing.

You would think that with a Copper band, 2 Mandarins, 2 yellow and purple corris and 2 fairy wrasses that my reef would be devoid of micro fauna but they don't even make a dent. Thanks for the comment!

Could you tell us more about the Vit.C dosing. 5 tabs seems like alot. Do you just buy regular tabs from the health food store?Crush them?mix with water?Target feed the zoos with it?Thanks.

If you need a little more info on the Vit C here is a great read:http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1602494

It suggests that you use the pure Vit C and not the tabs but after 5 months of dosing I have had only positive results. The tabs I use contain rose hips among a few other misc compounds and are dropped directly into my overflow to dissolve. Vit C has a very short half life in sea water so dosing smaller portions more times a day is preferable (Which I do when I'm not lazy ).
