Filtration: in the little box in the rear chambers I run Chemipure elite, purigen and filter floss. Also plumbed into the system on a shelf above my DT is a 5gal refugium stocked with cheato, calurpa (the one that looks like wide blades of grass) a christmass tree worm rock, A big bag of Brightwells zeolite media (no media reactor) and a host of different pods from Tisbe, pseudocylops (spelling) and some of the biggest amphipods I have ever seen.
Controller: I run a AquaController jr using serial port for computer use.
Chems: I run all brightwell products which are as follows.
Replenish, Microbacter, Reef biofuel, Koral color, Vitamin C, Koralle-vm, CoralAmino and iodion. I also occasionally dose some Zooplanktos-L, Amino Omega for food supplimentation and Phytochrom.
Livestock: You will love this
One grey YWG, A bonded pair of Ocellaris (acting like they may spawn), 1 bangaii cardinal, 1 cleaner shrimp, 1 pom pom crab, 1 squamosa clam, the CUC, A BREEDING PAIR OF SYNCHIROPUS SPLENDIDUS (green Mandarin) and a newly aquired and quickly fattening up Male Picturatus (spotted Mandarin).
Next tuesday my Female spotted should arrive at my LFS and assuming shes not totally emaciated or bigger than my Male I will be bringing her home
Feeding: Since I assume this is the next question.
Mostly consists of Frozen hikari mysis enriched in Selcon or AminoOmega and My Mandarins favorite treat Bloodworms also enriched. Every once in a great while I will feed some rods food but theres alot of junk in there my fish will not touch. I do not use the "Mandarin Diner" I just turn the pumps and powerheads off prior to feeding. I use a feeding tube to squirt some on a certain rock that they have come to recognize as the feeding area.
