Corals look healthy. Check out reef nutrition foods as well, lots of good choices out there. Your coral colors are impressive

I recommend a trachyphyllia but I'm biased. Lol

What color do you have, we like the red.

We had a very large one, green and yellow. I really like the rainbows and reds too.

Keep up the feeding. My Acan and Duncan can't seem to get enough food. I feed 2x a week with reef frenzy and reef roids to the others.

I love LPS too. I'd recommend a Duncan, more acan lords, candy cane.

Thanks, a lot of choices. We are going to our local lfs next week. We also use Reef Freenzy!

Frags are looking great. I always find it funny watching a acan blow up trying to swallow the mysis shrimp, talk about hogging some food, lol! I have used reef roids and mysis shrimp with KZ aminos, but now I'm trying reef chili as I felt the reef roids clouded up the water to much.

Wife loves watching the acan eat.

I have heard about Reef Chili but haven’t tried it yet. No problem here with clouding of water with Reef Roids.

We had a plate but end up loosing it. What’s the secret to keeping them? My wife picked it out.

It's amazing how fast they can bring the food to there mouths.

Wish I could tell you, I have 3 and lost 2 baby plates. I cleaned the tank and it killed the baby plates, go figure. From what I have seen with my plates they don't like strong and turbulent water flow and they don't like strong light. I look at the tentacles and if they are out and flowing then they are happy.

Or how wide they can open their mouths, lol!

Finally started to mount my lps frags today, but switching to some sps as the top of my aquascape would look bare. I learned something though, as I was increasing my white light to accommodate the sps frags I was starving my lps also, they are reacting in a good way to the white light.
