Re: Under Feeding

I over feed my coral, over circulate, over light and over filter (live rock, two skimmers (ozone fed) and a 5-6 inch deep sand bed in both tank and in refugium/sump). I also over monitor. If "over" means more than is typical. I feel though that I am doing things at ideal levels for performance desired.

Re: Under Feeding

I'm the same way. I run a DSB in the tank AND the refugium. I run a huge chunk of cheato in my refugium. I overskim, overcirculate, overfeed, and overmonitor.

I am REALLY starting to enjoy the results.
