We are replacing our extremely dysfunctional 50g frag tank with a custom design by a local tank builder. The new tank dimensions will be 48"Lx24"Wx12"H.

The stand is now essentially complete. Mike added the top to the stand, primed and added 3 coats of paint this past weekend. We'll take some pics of the finished stand and post them soon...

Such an inspiring tank--it is incredible how well the colors of the fish and color compliment one another

Looking forward to seeing the new frag tank setup!

I was actually wondering on what you dose, how often you dose and the same for feeding?

We run Ca and Kalk reactors and occasionally dose calcium, alkalinity and mag to keep parameters stable when we have an increase in consumption and also dose iodine twice per month.

As far as feeding goes, our fish are fed a variety of foods which include a mix of frozen Hikari foods, PE mysis, cyclopeeze, Spectrum pellets, and dried marine algae. We feed frozen food 2x per day plus a couple of small snacks (usually pellets and/or flakes) and provide algae on a clip 3x per week.

With the abundance of well-fed fish in our tank, we have not found it necessary to feed our corals. :bigsmile:
