best food for SPS besides fish poo.

[Radioheadx14]

My SPS are not a colorful as I would like. My monti caps and digis look good and most of my green colored SPS look good, but everything else is taking forever to color up. I'm starting to think that they are not getting enough food. My pink lemonade is growing, but the yellow and purple are bland, my garf bonsi is starting to look better but still brown. Many of my blue acros look faintly blue, but mostly a cream-to-brown color. What is the best food for SPS besides fish poop? I only have a few fish and don't want to over do it.

I was thinking DT's oyster feast, but am up for suggestions!

I am seeing decent results from reef chili. Never used dts so can't give a good or bad comparison but I def see better pe and color in month I have been using it.

I've had excellent results with Reef Nutrition's Oyster Feast and Roti Feast. The owner of the company, Randy Reed, came and gave a very informative talk to our reef club about feeding coral. Good people running a good company with good products.

I use Reef Nutrition's Oyster Feast with good results.

I have been using Reef Chili on and off, but think I am about to start using some Oyster Reef.

when my corals start to get light in color. i use lugols solution,reefbooster once a week and aminos every other day but you have to be careful not to overdo it, as you will get some not wanted algae.

Oyster Feast and Roti Feast work well for me too. I also use Lugols.

I feed mysis, PE mysis, rods coral food,rods fish eggs, and dose AA once in a awhile. but new xm 20k bulbs color up my sps the best...

Maybe cut back lighting instead of feeding. Less light should equal less needed nutrition.

 

[Radioheadx14]

I only a single 250w phoenix, so doubt I have too much light. I've been using reef chili but I don't see a good response from sps. My zoa/ric tank likes it.

I'll have to try oyster feast.

Oyster feast is sweet. All my corals turn inside out when I spot dees them. Its crazy good

+1 on oyster feast. Also If you are running ULNS than you might need to add some amino acids and/or other trace elements.

+1 Reefnutrion Oyster and Roti feast. I change water ever 6 days and add Iron, Strontium, Iodide, and Trace Elements 3 days after a water change. Takes about a month or two for a coral to color up in my tank.

My tank loves Rods Food

Oyster Feast. Oh, and more poo.
