Feeding with clam shells...

[Congaken]

Seems like a good percentage of those fish are >100 gallon fish....the trigger almost qualifies at the 200 gallon level. Something to at least keep in mind.

100% for sure you have to get the nutrition up if you want to have a chance at succeeding in a tank 1/2 to 1/5 of the size recommended. Fully functional immune systems will be required.

Paul's tank seems to be pretty jammed with fish (not sure how his selection compares with yours though), but a great example of what's possible with the right feeding.

I would agree about the niger...however, when he gets too big, I certainly will rehome him...Darryl, my mentor, feels I'm OK for quite a while...not a reef, mind you, and there is plenty of swimming room...I am mindful...Scott W. Michael in "Marine Fish" calls the bf at 75 gal. and the angel at 55gal....meanwhile the bf is about 2" now...and he is eating good...

Excellent!

When you say "everybody", I'm assuming that includes the lattice . . .

Are you talking about Paul B?? Look him up. This guy will will blow your mind with his "philosophy" and "theory" about feeding and immunity. Have a tissue ready cuz he also has a hilarious sense of humor.

Gonna make a batch now...using a very nubby coral skeleton...I'll stuff in goodies in every hole and between nubs than pour on the gelatin mixed with Selcon and let it set...bf should love this...we are attempting to recreate nature here...
