Thanks guys, good to be back. Hopefully soon i will set up my Elos again.
For this little tank i run AquaClear 50 hob filter, filled with bag of carbon, purigen and siporax media. Also running Macro -Aqua 60 skimmer. I do 2 gal. WC weekly , also clean the media in filter, to get rid of all uneaten food that gets pulled there. Once a month i do bigger WC like 50-80%. This keeps my parameters within acceptable levels. On small tank like this it is easy to do WC . I keep my temperature 72F. Have 3 small fish in there: tailspot blenny, neon goby and ORA masked goby. One porcelain crab, couple of hermits and 3 nassarius snails. Lighting is led fixture that come with AIO 3.6 gal. Petco brand tank. Only enough light to illuminate my tank, but not enough to grow anything, including algae.

What do you feed them?

What do you feed them?

I feed mostly frozen, mix different types of food of different size. This way smaller polyps and gorgonians get their share, for dendros and suns I also spot feed every other day with frozen mysis and brine shrimp. they like bigger,meaty foods.
