Do I need to feed reefroid or other coral food to my coral coloration?

[cojo8888]

My tank has low nutrient levels (Nitrate is around at 1~2, and phosphate at 0.01 or 0)

Right now I add red sea coral colorations A/B daily and feed heavily to keep nitrate at 2 (Too much back up filteration but I dont wanna change anything because it makes me keep away from water change and all I have to do is dosing 2 parts with minor elements.. I like it this way lol)

So my question is do I need to add additional food like Reefroids for corals other than red sea coral coloration A/B? I mean coloration are already ok but only under blue light I get good color. I want amazing color pop like Instagram reefers.[emoji848]

Drop some knowledge to newbie please! [emoji851]

Par level is 300 for sps area outside is 150~ 100 or less depends on area. Plenty of flow.

You don’t need reef roids to be like Instagram. What you need is photoshop.

How old is the tank? Color sometimes come after the tank has had time to mature. I don't feed roids, but I do use oyster feast in all my tank. It smells delicious by the way.

Hey Tri. How are you feeding the tank with the Oyster Feast. I'm currently target feeding with a mixture of reef roids about twice a week.

Hey Will.. Not sure if you mean amount or actually how I do it. I use the dropper and drip 25 drops onto a high flow area for my 90 and about 15 into my 50 gallon frag tank. Hopefully that's what you were looking for.

Vu and Anthony use Nuoc Mam, but I went oyster sauce instead because I'm chinese..

How often everyday? - with Lee Kum Kee Premium Oyster

If your feeding heavily to keep your nutrients high, you might as well feed some coral food...couldn't hurt. Broadcast feed it, it'll do double work of feedings and upping your nutrients at the same time.

I try to do everyday.. but i tend to forget some times. I don't sweat it. I doubt it's helping much with color, but it makes me feel good feeding them

Wait a minute -- I saw on another thread you guys talking about using oyster sauce but I thought that was a joke.

And Orange glass hahahaha

Are there any companies offering that yet? Or at least an orange film that can go over the tank like window tint? Then we can see corals like what the picture shows.

That will be the next big craze. either some sort of orange supplemental light or a film to go over the glass.
