Right now my reef tank is setup as a FOWLR instead of a full blown reef tank. Pictures will be coming down the road once I finally take some pictures of my setup. It’s been running now for about 2.5 years.

I put this page up more as a reminder for me to finally list my tank. This page is not completely updated yet.

Feeding
I use a homemade mix based on Melev’s DIY fish food. Most of it was made from stuff sitting around from current or previous fish I have owned. Over the past several years I have owned rays, sharks, puffers, sea horses plus varieties of general fish you might see in a reef tank. I had food not being used in my freezer and mixed a lot of the current and older food I had to make a good feed based on the Melev’s method for DIY food.

I use a mix of Walmart frozen seafood mix (bag), Krill, oyster, mini Mysis, Brine, Dainichi Marine Reef Veggie Mix pellets, and a little bit of Reef Nutrition’s Phyto-Feast.
