Best supplement for Zoa?

[PupChow]

I am considering dosing cyclopez, oyster eggs (ouch), phyto. I understand they are probably different size and serve different functions, but which do you think will benefit zoa the most? I will be dosing, not target feeding.

Ditch the phyto IMO I never dose it and get great growth.
I dose cyclopeeze,rotifyiers, and live fish food.
I see phyto as skimmer waste JMO. They dont need much maybe once or twice a week.

I would use Eggs and Eeez very lightly once no more than twice a week. External food should be a secondary source of nutrition, not a primary.

Mucho

I personally like Cyclop Eeze.... I mostly feed it to my lps, but some of the paly's chomp it down too...

I think the best thing you can do for zoa growth is to keep your tank stable as possible....

I agree with CoralNutz on this one.

I've kept zoas using only flake food feeding my fish before and had no problems at all. Some of the colors weren't quite as good (PC Lighting) but it wasn't so bad you couldn't ID them either.

Since then I've switched over to Cyclopeeze and DT Phyto, most of the phyto does seem to wind up in the skimmer but I've noticed also that my blues have perked up since using it also.
