ZooPlankton Feeding?

[Mcain Bwood]

For everyone who owns Sps i was wondering what your feeding methods are.
Mine are:

-I dose about 15 drops of phytofeast everyother day

-Squirt thawed(10min) cyclopseeeze in direction of sps polyps untill i see capture. Do you squirt the cyclopse right at the designated sps or do you just dose it anywhere?

-10 ml Kent coralvite a week
-10ml strontium/moly a week
-10ml iron a week
-10ml magnisium a week
- 3 drops lugols a week
-10 ml iodide a week

I also dose 5mL Kent calcium per day on top of the kalk top off.

Id like to here your routines

thats alot of Mg, iron, stronium and iodide to be dosing every week... what are your levels...

dude..take it easy with the dosing.

DONT DOSE IT IF YOU'RE NOT TESTING FOR IT - Please.
SPS dont really take in algal plankton..so DTs or phytofeast are a waste as far as SPS go. you need zooplankton for SPS - rotifers, etc...

Its more like every week and a half but i will cut down a bit i test for mg but not for iron,iodide,strontium. DT u dose for my clam and other filter feeders.
