Chalice Care Questions

[popeye20]

I am new to the world of Chalice corals, and would like some pointers on the husbandry of these animals.
Lighting, feeding, and placement in the tank suggestions would be greatly apriciated.

My tank: 60g display w/40g sump 2 250de 20k mhs, GFO reactor, carbon reactor, and superskimmer 220( I know POS, but I was broke planning on vectrix or greyseas cone soon. ) Little Giant 3 return pump, and a few Koralia power heads.
Alk- 8
PH- 8.5
Salinity- 1.027
PO4- 0
Cal- 460
Mag- 1500
N03-4- 0

Mainly SPS with some zoos and shrooms and a bit of anthelia.

i only have a couple and have been going at it for only a few months but:
- most of the aussies like lower light (good practice is to start all of them off in lower light) but some of the established ones will take medium to high light)
- most eat but some don't. some of mine will slurp down mysis while others only grab cyclops
- they like medium to lower levels of flow
- they're generally easier to care for than sps
- most grow s l o w
- most have mean stings

oh, almost forgot

i dip them in revive and even throw a little interceptor in there. there's supposed to be some kind of little black chalice "bug" out there that will munch away at them.

revive for about 10 minutes, then interceptor for 15 or so

I keep mine near the bottom of my tank and they keep good color. I also feed them a few times a week. Your set up looks good to keep them.
