no secrets.... just feed them more times a day.

if they happen to nip, reposition the coral on another area where they less frequent

My venustus was nipping on my elegance

I relocated the elegance and feed the Venustus more.

He stopped and the elegance recovered.

But a few months later due to heavy workload, I neglected feeding the fish and he went back to his old habbit....

hope this help....

pics la dei....pics!

lazy leh... when I get motivated...

Wow. Crowded tank.

hi Jacky , what do you do to handle the high bio load?

Hi Zico.... just usual..... nothing special. My maintenance is pretty low. WC once every 4 - 6 weeks, change carbon every 2 - 3 months.

running rowa in an FR. But I make it a point to feed only pellets. No frozen.

Curious bro jacky. Y u don't use substrate? Personal preference? Or water cleaner & less maintenance?

Hi jkit, I would love to have sandbed...... but a lot of detritus actually gets trapped in the sandbed. When you siphon, you can only do so to the exposed areas.

For those below the rocks or inaccessible areas, a lot of dirt will be trapped. With BB, I usually use the wavemaker to blow all the hidden detritus to the front of the tank and siphon them out. Maybe this help to keep the water cleaner.

Hope this help. A lot of times, I just attribute to good fortune that I manage to obtain healthy specimens. I think that is crucial to high surival rate.

cheers !
