IMHO, that is not enough.. I feed twice a day, heavy in the morning and lighter at night, I also turn my return pump off, feed mode for 10 mins.. watch the fish next time you feed them could give you a clue.. what are you feeding them as well..

They sometimes get fed twice a day. Dpends on my work schedule. And i use to 3 times a day but cut back due to my P04 spike. I feed, PE Mysis, Cyclops, New Era Grazers, New Era Flakes, New Era Pellets, Algae sheets. They have a pretty wide variety in their diets.

Has anyone here actually ever had the rearrange the rocks thing actually work in a SW tank?

Have you considered an auto feeder for your dry foods such as pellets.

I would get on more of a routine of changing gfo out to help keep PO4 down and increase feedings to help reduce aggression

I have had an eheim auto feeder on all of my SW tanks forever 4 feedings timed around the 2 frozen meals morning and evening, including one middle of the night feeding for the 24 hour grazers and night creatures all very small amounts.

I've done it in many tanks. It's a 50/50 chance if it works or not

try putting you net in there and just leaving it, they get excited when new things happen and this way he will get used to it and it makes it a lot easier to catch them, could take you 3 days to a week, depends on the fish..

You can borrow mine Riley. If he's an aggressive eater it'll work well if he's picky you'll catch every other fish twice first...

My CBB swims right in as soon as it goes in the tank now. Let me know...
Id love to use it. It would probably be the easiest way for me to catch him. When can this happen? Thanks for the kind gesture! Once your back up and running ill give ya a frag of something out of my sps collection :).
