Fauna Marin foods?

[fullmonti]

I have read a lot of bits & pcs about feeding FM products to nps corals. Lots of dif. combos, mixs etc. Apparently usually mixed with water, but it seems some can (or should?)be used dry. Any way I thought if some one could put a comprehensive post together of what FM products are good for what type nps, with info on particle size, mixing with water & let set for some time or dry, if OK to mix any or all together etc. If this could be done it would be a big help to many people, & would make a great sticky!

I know this might be a real job, & if it already exist the link would be much easier. Like so many things this info is around, but so fragmented & some times conflicting or at least confusing to the newbie.

thanks Jim

OK thanks, didn't know the sponsors had there own forums.
Maybe he can put this together for the nps forum.

:thumbsup: Thanks Gresham, you beat me to it.

Jim, alot of us just dont use only one specific brand of food for feeding our corals. Now, a Azoox Coral Food recipe thread or a dosing thread may be a option, unfortunately nothing is pure cookie cutter in this hobby but a few of us are more than willing to help out to guide a fellow non-photosynthetic reefer in the right direction.

he can't given the UA for sponsors. That would be considered advertising out of his forum which is a big no no (or so I was told when I was a sponsor)

I just got a response from FM forum. He said they just finished Azoo manual but will need to be translated. Sounded like it might be a few weeks with summer vacations & all.

Aquabacs one thing I have learned there are no hard & fast rules in reef keeping. When I started sps system I tried Zeo system. They have a large website (a bit cookie cutterish) & some good guide line starting points. While I still use a few of there products, most I discovered I don't need & of the ones I still use half are at a very different amount than recommended.

What I'm trying to get the same grip on, is the differences (what they will & wont do) between all these different foods I read about. Thin as my nps system evolves I will be able to make informed adjustments.

Any info on this while waiting on translation is welcome.

And doe's the term Azoo refer to nps in general, or what?

Yes, Azoo is just Azooxanthellae abbreviated and is used interchangeably with NPS.

Azoo is proper, NPS is like SPS and LPS, something hobbyists made up
