Reef Bugs invertebrate food...

[Dale Cooper]

I'm cycling my new tank but will be slowly adding corals once it's cycled. There is so much food out there and I have zero knowledge of any of it. Is this stuff any good? It's pricy. What's good or better, if anything?

I bought it and wasnt impressed. This isnt baby pod eggs, its tiny bacteria. I dont think it would benefit corals.

A better alternative would be reef chili

Wha kind of corals do you want to keep? That will really decide what you should feed. A lot of corals just need light and good parameters.

I like coral smoothie by Algen. It is a "wet" food, but I figured I'd throw it out there. I also looked at the reef bugs at the lfs but didn't pull the trigger and was recomended the coral smoothie by the owner.

I haven't decided yet. Corals for beginners, lol.

I looked at the Chili but they're out of stock. I can wait. It will be at least a couple more weeks to a month before I buy critters of any kind.

Thanks for the rec on Chili. I was going to ask.
