    I rotate between live Reef Nutrition Phyto-feast, Arctipods (used as fish food but my coral, mostly soft, utilize it as well) and Coral Frenzy. I feed once a week or so with the Phyto and Frenzy and a couple times a week with the Arctipods. Here is one of my Finger Leathers almost out of shedding; [​IMG]

    Yes, growing and to rid themselves of unwanted algae and debris.

    Wow that seems like a lot of fish for that tank. I do 20% w/c every week n thought i was slacking. If your not wanting to dose might help to do bigger w/c to pick up the drop in mag and alk..... But what do I know.
