    Keeping Mandirn Fish/dragonets fed

    You should of got it to eat frozen mysis in a smaller tank before you put them in the larger tank. But I guess its to late now unless you can catch them. If not and you have a sump you can by live pods and dump them in your sump,they will breed like rabbits down there. Matt

    Denitrification WithOUT live rock.

    I'm not big on bio-balls, but you can try a bio-ball tower. 5' -6' tall about 12" in diameter and just let the water be gravity fed as it enters the top of the tower down thru the thousands of bio-balls into a sump then pumped back into your tank. Matt
