    Beautiful reef! Have a question about your power heads. You have good success mounting them on the rear panel like that? I want to do that, but people “in the know” keep telling me they need to point at each other. But if I do they are all ugly on the clear glass on the sides of my tank. Cheers!

      I have actually mounted them on the sides now with much better results

    Good video. How often do you replenish the population? Also do feed any phyto feast or oyster feast?

      I use a local Phyto and feed that daily, not much though, about 2-3ML and I top up pods every two months or so.

      @@WaterboxReef so do you pour the phyto into the water? Or spot feeding kind of thing? And when u that you turn the filtration off with the pumps? If so for how long?

      Tisbe biminiensis is the smallest in our line of zooplankton, ranging from 50-1000 µm in size from naupuli to adult. igriopus californicus copepods are the most widely used species of copepod in home aquariums due to their high nutrient value and jerky swimming motion making them a very enticing prey item. at 1,700 µm T. californicus is the largest copepod they offer.

      Thanks much. So what is the actual size of the bottle? Is it 16oz or 8oz. It’s not listed on the website
