Nice job...I however believe that you should feed occassionally anyway for a source of N and P. You can really tweak your colors thiw way.

i have a fat pink spot watchman goby and a fat percula clown and a midnight angel,
here is my schedual
2x 10% W/C a week
drip kalkwasser everynight
add trace elements 2x a month
add small amounts of calcium chloride
run carbon 1x a month for 3 day intervels and following carbon use i add a full dose of iodine and essential elements over a course or the two days following carbon use.
as i said b4 no food has been added to the tank for 2 1/2 years - not even coral food, just chemicals.
have been skimmerless for 9 months now!
