Tks Bubble Gum. He is very cute indeed but rather sensitive to white spots, especially when I do water change, you can see that he will hide himself and the next time you see him, he has spots all over his body. I am not worried as he still feeds a lot, especially chopped prawns. But he will spit out all the garlic - Smart Tang !

Happy to receive more comments on my tank. I feel that it is missing colour. Any suggestions from fellow reefers are most welcome.

Very nice tank and scaping works !! Looks like you have pumping xenia - how long have they been in your tank?

You should mixed your fish feed with garlic 'juice', not chopped garlic. One way is to have your prawns, garlic and whatever ingredients you use and have them blended. Pack the blended feed into a plastic container and freeze it.

Come feeding time, scrape the frozen feed (do not thaw!) off with a fork and dip it into the tank. Remember. You only need very little garlic or the smell will be too much for your fish to take. :sick:

Hi, what other ingredients, besides prawns, are normally added for a balanced feed ?

Mr Naso has been with me for 1 month already. He was hiding the first 2 days among the LR. On the 3rd day, he must be really hungry and started to eat during feeding. Now, he is very brave and will rush for the food with my other fishes. Yes, he gets white dots all over his body when he is scared, especially when I do water change or put my hand into the tank to shift some of the out-of-place corals. The white spots lasted for a few hours and once Mr Naso starts eating, his spots disappear. He is easier to keep than the blue tang who is more sensitive to white spots which will last many days. I'm not worried as long as they eat. But, if they start to hide themselves and not feed, then they are really sick.
