Does that also mean you have tons of copes or do they live off of other detritus? |  I haven't seen a copod in quite some time. Not real sure what they're feeding on. They are very high in my tank, maybe they're skimming?? |

Just a ? does not having all thoes feater dusters/filter feeders pull nutriance from the water that your corals are also feeding off?
could it not be a disadvantage to have such hi amounts? _________ http://www.3reef.com/forums/image.ph...ine=1200113573

My water quality is stellar. And corals are growing rapidly. Some are spreading to where I'll need to cut them up and give them away (again). | |
