Marine Snow or Roid or Coral Frenzy

Hi,

I would like to have an update version of preferences from fellow reefers, which one do you prefer for sps?

Reef roids.

marine snow just doesnt have that much contents ! very disappointing.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sharing.

The only things going in my tank are top up water and Reef-Roids, my SPS go nuts with PE when i feed them as they get nothing else - no nitrates and no phosphates just the roids so i'm fairly certain the roids are a winner.

guess I will need to find a place that sells roids

The interesting part is (unless i completely missed it) the study did not involve acroporas....or am i wrong?

I have heard great things about reef roids..im trying oyster feast right now but i will get some reef roids to compare...however ive seen pictures of allmost tank and if he says reef roids i would def go with that!

you are right, they did study on porites and montis. the fastest growing SPS.

these studies also lack the color part of it .... we dont want brown corals that just grow fast in our tanks, we want the balance between looking good and growing so for sure not the best study or even close to a proof of one being better than the other.

but unfortunately, due to lack of scientific work in this field, these are the best we have ...

reef nutrition stuff are also great too though ... I feed oyster feast and their rotifers to my Azoox corals and sometimes SPS get a bit, and for sure they are good as well.
