This hobby is not good for the wallet. Pretty sure I say monthly "this will be the last thing I buy for the tank for a while".

Awesome video, those fish went nuts for the food. Love that, my fish get fed usually twice a day and always act like they are starving and attack the food like crazy.

Do you not dose? Just curious as to why you change 100g of water per week?

I have a calcium reactor and I dose kalk. I change 100 a week to control nutrients. I siphon the sump siphon all the frag tanks by the time I am done it’s normally 75-100

Used to not do as much or as often. Had a few sps die and even a few torches. Once I started to do weekly bigger water changes seem all my corals are doing better. I also can feed my fish almost double without having to worry about nutrients. So manybthe corals are doing better with all that extra feeding. I really don’t know

I'm sure the corals are very happy with 100g water change per week

Whatever your doing it appears to be working so I wouldn't change a thing.

Feeding time

Your fish make my fish look like snobs. My fish will certainly get excited when it’s feeding time (twice a day) but most of them are picky about what they chose to eat from my semi-DIY reef blend (mix of pods, PE mysis, mini-mysis, brine shrimp, 3-4 different dry foods, garlic extract and selcon all mixed up and frozen into mini-cubes). The only one that reacts even close to that is my cardinal fish. The others just kinda pick and choose. I wish they’d attack the food like that though considering how much work I put into mixing it up, freezing it and feeding them twice a day. The picky, spoiled little bastards.

EDIT: at least my little herd of nassarius snails appreciate my work and dedication.

Yes they aren’t shy at all. I feed with a little bowl. Sometimes they will swim into it when I feed them.
