Supplies

Additives/Test Kits:

Food/Suppliments:

  • Hikari Mysis Shrimp (32 frozen food cubes, 100g total)
  • 1/4# of frozen in-shell uncooked shrimp (from grocery store)
  • 1/4# of uncooked scallops (from grocery store)
  • Selcon
  • .87oz Aquatrol Spirulina 20 flakes
  • California All Natural Pet Foods' 12oz 3 in 1 combo 110 count frozen "feeder fish" (it's bloodworms, bring shrimp, and plankton, in small fish shapes)
  • DT'S LIVE Marine Phytoplankton (7.5 oz)
  • 1oz squirt bottle of LiquidLife's MarinePlankton (made with cyclop-eeze)
  • 1oz (30ml) DT's Natural Reef Diet (Oyster Eggs)

Quarantine/Sick Tank:

** Both the CF and the Moon LEDs share a single ballast/power supply with a single on/off switch; although the Moon LED's may be turned on/off while the power supply is powered by a switch on top of the hood. While it is possible to connect the plug to a timer, once power is cut, the disadvantage is that the Moon LEDs can not be used. Another disadvantage is that the fans are also tied to the lights being on, so it's not possible to run the fans longer in order to cool the tank more (although the fact that the lights and fans are behind a splashguard with little access to above-water air, may limit any effect this could have).
