ok, well, my own personal theory - not about whats wrong with bstreep & marks chemistry, or should I say, what has yet to be figured out...

is that the HIATTS are gonig to excel in smaller systems like my cube where water changes keep these limiting nutrients in supply. that is my hope at least.

I will say this, when the coral are alive, I have a theory that the RIGHTNOW bacteria sloughs off the carbon as it replicates, and provides a great food source.

I am feeding my clowns the krill flake from cb pets twice a week (they love it more than anything else i feed, and they turn their nose up at mysis. go figure.)

Twice a week I feed the 'tank' reefchili (www.reefchili.com) which i mix cyclopzeeze into. thats it, and everything has great extension.

oh, no, thats not it... I douse the reefchili with some vitamins before re-hydrating, and i add some tahitian blend for my feather dusters as well.
