If your lights are bright enough, you generally don't have to feed either of them. Good luck.

Good lighting and feeding your fish will likely provide all the food they need.

 

[Mykro]

Even better...what about flow... Should it be medium or low on both ?? Thanx guys

I feed my corals BRS reef chili about 1-2 times a week coral growth has really improved since I started feeding

Don't buy reef chili or other coral food. Just make some, its a lot better than bottled food. Just to to your local grocery store or asian market and buy fresh fish, squid, shrimp, clams etc.
Here is my recipe:
1/2 pound of clams
1 pound of black mussels
1/2-1 pound of bay scallops
1/2-1 pound of fresh shrimp
3-5 fresh oysters
I blend this into a paste which I can then feed to my zoas, sps, etc.

For larger LPS, such as duncans, I feed small pieces of krill, mysis, squid, or brine shrimp.

Nice medium inderect flow for both would be good.

Thanks guys I hope that's all it needs I don't want them to die.... What about any nutrients ??

 

[MondoBongo]

most important thing for all stony corals, after lighting, is stable parameters. specifically salinity, calcium, alkalinity, and magnesium.

get those 4 things rock solid, coupled with good lights, and you're well on your way to trying to figure out where you're going to put your giant, overgrow, hammer so it can't string anything.
