  1. Yip. There's plankton there. It may be temporary plankton, but its definitely plankton. The definition of plankton is a living organism floating in the current. Obviously detritus is mixed amongst it.
  2. Coral polyps are all over acropora and SPS. These polyps are feeding on plankton. If they only relied on zoo-ox they wouldnt need polyps as they could get all there nutrition from the Zoo-ox and the photosynthesis. Polyp corals are animals.
  3. Large volume tanks with sand beds give tonnes of micrscopic life. If I sit and stare at the tank edge I can see lots of pods up againbst the tank edge. If I stir up a an area of sand the size of a bread and butter plate, my fish get a big feed. Sand is paramount in my opinion. The ecosystem alone just in the sand supports the rest of the tank. I believe the sand holds more goodies than the rock by 500%.

    full siphons need adjusting occasionally. Its better to have the tap higher for easier access. You can add one to the pipes ypou have there in the overflow.

  9. Cleaner wrasse are not aquarium friendly fish. 90% of them die after a short period. They do not fair well in tanks. But I guess people buy them.

    Over dose Mg

    Ive only heard of it and had no proof. Pies explained this awhile ago. I thin he said he has experienced it.

    Over dose Mg

    do a 30% water change to be safe. It will probably promote algae, but do other things at that level.
  12. lights and heating i guess, but i also have 3 streams and a laguna 7 running 24/7 not to mention the skimmers.......
