amazing fishfood!

Any time I add any kind of plankton I turn off the recirculating pump so it doesn't get filtered out before the corals get a chance to pig out on it.

I shut off my sump pump also (now that I learned the stuff floats for a bit and my overflow likes to take most of it) but before that I never really had a problem w/ my skimmer going nuts when I used it.

I picked some up today at Petco. $9.63 with tax. These are quite a bit bigger than Cyclopeze, and my fish love those.

So how do the LPS go nuts over it if it floats?

 

[Delta_zeta]

oh no no, it doesn't float forever...it will sink...but if I keep my pumps turned on b/c I have such a high turnover in my tank it'll get sucked down into the sump before it has a chance to sink (but i have a big section in my tank where the overflow is considering the footprint size of the hex...as long as you don't drop it in right over the overflow you shouldn't have a problem b/c your tank is quite a bit bigger than mine.

 

[Delta_zeta]

btw...you'll have to let me know how your fish/corals like it.

Will it float if you actually release it under water instead of just droping in the tank? Thats how I feed any dry foods to my tanks to avoid the overflow problem.

You could soak it in some tank water for a few minutes, before putting it in the tank, too.

 

[Crit21]

Well, just as with cyclopeze, mine are eaten by the fish before anything else has a chance. I'll have to try it when the lights go off.

Just picked up some Sweetwaters at PETCO on Powers, will see how it works tonight. Crit, one thing I noticed is my Milli really extends is polyps and the ones I got from you don't, how do yours look at home during the night?

 

[murfman]

How much do each of you feed?

 

[Crit21]

My milli never extend with the lights on. How's the color look under your lights?

 

[Crit21]

Once I increase my flow with the modified powerheads, maybe things will change a bit.

Under the actinics you see some nice green and a little pink. Under the MH, brown.

MODERATORS, Trip post, why am I not being allowed to delete these posts?

Ringing up the post count there Paul?Lol!

When I feed, I take a spoon and just put a little bit on the end of the spoon and put it in the water. if you've fed any of it already you'll realize how much of it is in a tiny bit and it spreads a lot. I feed just enough that the fish are preoccupied w/ some of it and the corals get some too. You also have a much bigger tank w/ more occupants than I do too so you could double or triple it even.

 

[murfman]

fish love it but I don't see the corals waking up and going after it. I'll feed later at night too.

 

[Delta_zeta]

my acans and sun polyps love it. I've had a better reaction from my SPS too now that I fixed my "problems" in my tank
