Interesting about stirring up the sump detrius at night, never thought about doing that. |

The sump detritus seems to work ok as an occassional food source in my opinion and since it's already in the system it's one less thing I have to add. I'm sure there will be some who disagree with my methods but to that I would ask how many detritus deposits are found in the wild? My guess would be pretty few as it all gets swept together with the plankton - so since it's there already I make use of it once in a while. There are others who keep a powerhead running in the sump which prevents the detritus from settling and basically keeps it in solution so it is continually returned back to the reef and/or skimmed out.

I like the idea of feeding the reef some sump dwelling detritus. Your corals sure seem to like it. Worth a shot for sure. |

It seems to me that in another forum you had said that you had been using using Acro Power for a few months. Are you still using it and if so, do you think that it makes a difference?
Thanks

Thanks Greg,
I was having (yet another) senior moment. I went back and found the thread that I was thinking of - I actually had your setup confused with o2manyfish. He is dosing 10ml daily on a system volume of 1100G and seems to be very pleased with the results. His tank looks great. (as does yours! ) Cheers, Jerry

Turned the pumps off and spent a little time reflecting on my reef today.

Interesting you are asking about that piece - I lost most of it a little while ago but it was about 9 inches across. Not sure what happened to it - I was away with work when it RTN'd.
