Greenwater for feeding corals

[dpieroni]

Hi. I have a continuos suplly of greenwater (nanocl.) and I do not know if it good for feeding my corals of my 80 gallon reef tank.
Is there good enough to feed soft corals and some lps?
someone?

Not normally. Green Water is a phytoplankton culture. Most soft corals and LPS need rather meaty fair. Especially LPS. One thing that it will help is your copepod population.

Yes, but not directly. If you feed phyto to your tank the smaller 'things' in your tank will grow in population. This provides a natural food for the next step in the food chain. Eventually the growth in the food chain gets to a size and type that corals can consume. This is accelerated and results are more likely if you also feed zooplankton.
