Its good to hear that you have had success with your flame angel and only having to feed it once a day. Where do you buy your seaweed and do you simply hang it on the side of the glass?

Adding Caulerpa did miracles for reducing my phosphates. Does your tank have a big enough sump in the back to add?

Yeah it was a bit of a gamble, but I'm glad that it's worked out! Here's a photo of the seaweed I use. I get it from my LFS but I know it's online as well ... And yes, I have it on the glass on a clip I really wanted to add a fuge in the back because there is a lot of room, but the guys at my LFS said it would be a waste/not worth it for this small of a tank so I went with a Phosguard bag instead and it seems to be working pretty well. Hope things are going well with your transfer!

I have phosguard in a media bag too. Not sure how well it is really working. Will probably eventually convert to a reactor when I get the money

Very nice looking tank great job on the rock placement but as others have said beware of that Angel. In my opinion its only a matter of time before he finds those zoa's or something else he likes in there..................

Does your flame angel poop a lot? Ever since I got my coral beauty it poops like crazy human shaped poops that roll around on my sandbed, sometimes multiple logs at a time. Just curious if this is with all dwarf angels... cause the coral beauty is the only one I've had.
