    also what about food? all i feed is coral plankton, mysis shrimp and flake once in a while. all my other corals love the coral plankton. and at first so did my zoo's. is there anything else i should feed them?

    amcarrig, do you use bio, coral or marine plankton? i was just wondering how other people felt about it. i tried to get a thread going about it a little while ago but no one really said anything about it.

    Neither. I only add "homemade" phytoplankton that I get from a reefer friend in Virginia. My corals do very well with only lights, fish food and whatever zooplankton my system produces on its own (cleaner shrimp eggs/fry, copepods, amphipods, etc.)
