I flood my tank with 2 cubes of mysis once a day. Two times with pellets / tear up nori / henry's gourmet and Three times on pellets auto feeder. Equate to about 6 times a day of feeding which is why my sps colours are not as brilliant :( but all the 30 fishes are happy :)

bro James

despite the heavy feeding, there does not se to be nuisance algae.

care to share your nutrient export mechanism?

thanks bro.

Equation is simple, export must be stronger than import. I only use two main ways to export. 1) over skimming. My skimmer is rated for 1500 litres but my display tank is only 300L. 2) My refugium which consists of dsb & macroalgaes is 150L, which is 1/2 the size of my display tank. With these two main nutrients exporters, I can feed alot without much worries. Of cos plus I diligently do my weekly 20L water change with distilled water salt mixed. During water change i siphon some of the sand in the dt as well as my ios that has detritus settlement. My photoperiod is 14hrs with 8hrs full 100% T5. My rowaphos already 2 months no change and I didnt notice any ill effect so I might discontinue the use of rowaphos next month. Small Bag of the cheapest activated carbon I can find in the market are changed monthly. Thats all, no magic, just plain old school method.

One more info, I believe in skimmate quantity, for my system I get about 1L of dark tea colour skimmate from my life reef skimmer everyday.
