WHO IS SANTAMONICA !!!! Thats like asking who is Jesus:rofl::rofl::rofl:
He is the guy who revived the algae scrubber on saltwater tanks. I think it started in the early 70's But there were problems. Not enough was known about them and there was some big failure.
I don't really know much about it. Anyway, Now that im typing this I don't really know that much about SM:shock:

Thanks, what do you think about that?

I think it depends on the type of coral..corals that have hard skeletons, you may not want to feed everyday...You want to give the skeleton ample time to grow as well, that way you've got a nice healthy coral..on the other hand, if you've got some zoas or palys that eat mysis, you could feed them everyday, all it's gonna do is make them spread faster....

Well, I love all SPS coral. What kind of lighting do you have? But on the LPS side of things.. Frog spawn, Duncans, Hammer coral, open brain, Acans,
IF you want to go SPS try some Montipora Digitata, or almost any Monti. They are very rewarding and grow fast!

That should be fine. Try some type of Monti they really do grow fast. They come in almost any color.

In terms of the coral world, very fast. Zoas are some of the fastest growing corals you can get. You should see them spreading across the rocks in a matter of months.
