Incredible tank and a really interesting mix of fish, including some that most people would say are not reef safe. Just goes to show that we shouldn't always believe what we're told and experiment a little!
Thank you so much! Agreed, sometimes we need to take risks and try by ourselves. This is the case with the flavirostris as it continues nibbling my coral. Two weeks passed and I keep pushing for the flavirostris to accept and go for foods other than the corals.
Muito obrigado amigo. Poderia estar melhor se não tivesse AEFW (não sei o nome em português). A ver vamos se eu as consigo erradicar ou pelo menos ter a situação sob controlo.
I feed them a blend of shrimp, mussels, clams, salmon and nori. Nowadays I am adding artemia (sometimes alive) as I am enticing the new fish to eat. 3x daily. I don't have access to mysis shrimp, that would be a better choice instead of artemia, I believe.
@@JorgeMacedo OK interesting. Are most of these foods frozen from a packet or do you make ur own food? I feed my tank mysis (in addition to other foods) and some corals definitely enjoy it! The LPS and sun corals in particular!
@@dannybellew9557 I prepare the foods myself. Most of it is from a market in a Mangrove area where they sell lots of seafood even the shrimp are kept alive in tanks, artemia is brought and sold alive or frozen to a local marker, salmon I get from a supermarket and I bring everything home, blend it and packed it into plastic bags and freeze. Then I cut it into cubes and into a plastic box in the freezer.
Absolutely stunning. The tank has grown so much. I love the purple stag. The branches are huge. Well done.
Thank you very much. Love that stag too, the branches are so thick that it makes very difficult, really one of my favourites.

STUNNING REEF! Wow! How many gallons btw?
Thank you! This is a 180 US gallons tank, 6'x2'x2'.
Maravilhoso como sempre ❣️❣️❣️

@@JorgeMacedo isso é que é pior ...mas mesmo assim está lindíssimo
@@flaviocardoso9512 Muito, muito obrigado amigo.
Very nice! Where is the N&P now. PAR?
Thank you. No3 at 2.5ppm now (usually undetectable). I stopped testing for PO4 a few years ago. Don't have a PAR meter , never needed one.😁
@@JorgeMacedo Haha! Well it looks real nice in there. 😉
@@Reefahholic 🙏🙏🙏
Maravilhoso como sempre ❤️❤️
what butterfly fish are those? :D
Coradion altivelis ( Hi Fin butterflyfish), chaetodon marginalis (Marginalis butterflyfish), chaetodon flavirostris ( Dusky butterflyfish)
What do you feed them and how often do you feed them?

That's awesome, I can't get foods fresh like that, so I have to make do with frozen and dried foods etc 😒
