Who feeds there Corals

[an411]

I was thinking about getting some rods coral food or something to give to my corals. I have seen people say that all they feed their corals is fish poo. Wanted to see what you guys had to say about whether you feed and what you feed.

phyto feast and roti feast.....sometimes oyster feast .. I alternate em .....and feed at nite primarily with skimmer off........and sometimes return pump off as well....

I feed everynight with cyclopeeze, phyto and oyster feast. Alternating of course. Not all at once.

Have you guys noticed any benefits since you started feeding

i feed mysis to my acan,lps things like that and they seem to enjoy it. If i turn off my pumps within minutes most of my corals have their tenticals out.

i spot feed as much as possible, also, dose DTs and aminos!

 

[an411]

[epstein]

all food is .....thats why skimming is important.....Between spot feeding and Vitamin C ...which is another topic.....I have acan heads the size of quarters....

What are you keeping as far as corals? That will determine what you should feed.
I feed mysis and cyclopse to my LPS and my sps eat oyster eggs and rotifers.

i'm new to acros and i would like to know too.

actually feeding sps isn't the easiest thing, as most don't have large polyps (with the exception of some). I feed them rotifers and oyster feast. They definitely can grab some, but don't reach most. Those ones that don't just add nutrients that they will absorb, and are good as long as you don't have too many.
I think most people who are first starting sps need to know what their system needs to keep nutrients low enough for them to thrive before they worrying about what to feed them. Just a thought.
