Desi, I'm no expert with fish, but I hear that if you keep the Sg slightly lower, I.e. Hyposalinity, you can help them to reduce their stress. I dunno how true, but somehow it works for some. How abt

just blend it and it makes abt 40 servings.. abt 1 teaspoon per serving.. i scoop into small ziplock bags that i bought.

Another trick that i read from overseas reefers is that they will place the prepared fish food into ice cube holders. Once its frozen into cube shapes you can place them into ziplock bags.

haha.. actually hor we bought the ice cube thing also.. but i think since the food we make is not really liquid food so not need to freeze in ice cube tray (we already have a spare 1). Any case, i bought some small ziplocks which basically can fill say abt 3-4 teaspoons and ziplock and freeze it lor... easier i think..

As for Henrys' gourmet, we also have it but sometimes it's not available.. anyway, not a lot of trouble la... i think if we do it the right way and get the procedures and portions right, prob can do 1 batch of say 30-40 servings within 1 hr..

leftovers, will be our dinner lor! :upsidedown:

For my gonio when I got them, they were not opening much. Maybe approx 1 cm only when I left them on the sandbed for the 1st 3 - 4 days.

Ever since shifting it up towards more light, it has been gradually stretching to about an avg of 1.5 inch now.

Just fyi in case if you face similar problem.

here's a pic of mine just taken.

heh.. quite a few reefer recommend this.. but i don't really want to "overdose" all these buffers la... as long as corals are healthy, i am ok with it.. of the 2 alveo and 2 gonio, all 4 are very healthy and the purple one starts to open up quite a bit already. The red one are fully open but not fully extended only so i am fine with it actually. :)

I went through the process of dosing a lot of stuff previously but now I only dose those that I find are useful and beneficial for my tank... :eyebrow:

The trick is not to dose everything at one time but to dose only 1 additive each time for 2 weeks and see if there are any positive effects on your corals. :whistle
