    Anemone Feeding Help!

    Hi, hope you all are having a fantastic day! I just picked up these Frozen Uncooked Shrimp from my local Publix, and was curious if it is safe to give to my Anemone? Usually I just give him Brine Shrimp, but looking to experiment! Thank you so much

    I made frozen feed!

    Hello my friends. Last week I made frozen feed. I used frozen scallops, shrimps and mackerel (wlth skin and bone). I added New Life Spectrum Thera (small food), Tropic Marin Immuvit (vitamin etc.), Omega One Brown and Red Seaweed to make the mixture more nutritious. The mixture I prepared...

    Feeding time poll! What’s your pump strategy?

    Every option is valid it seems, I’m just trying to decide on a feeding method for me. I have Blotchy Anthias and a juvenile multi bar so my feedings need to be often and are automated with an autofeeder. My tank is a Cade 1800 S2/P at 228 gallons. Since I have a reefmat, it’s not the end of...

    RS Reef Mat Owners: Do you turn off the Reef Mat during Feed Mode?

    Just got the RS Reef Mat and noticed the level sensors on it. When I put my tank on feed mode (using GHL) the water level in my sump rises. Should I shut off the Reef Mat as well as everything else during feed mode? Thank you all for your time and input!

    How much Nori for 1 Tang

    Hey R2R community! Just picked up my first tang (a beautiful juvenile Purple Tang). Seems to be settling into her new home just fine. I just was wondering how much Nori I should feed? I don’t want to over do it and I don’t want to “under do it” either. It’s the only fish I have that eats Nori...

    Is there any alternative food for Copepods aside from phytoplankton?

    I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

    Are skimmers counter-productive once corals are introduced?

    So I’ve been thinking a little about this with my establishing a feeding regimen for corals. It makes sense to start a tank of with a skimmer while you have fish and while building maturity, but once you get to that point, wouldn’t the space be better utilized to make the refugium larger? In...

    Can copper sulphate in food damage invertebrates

    So I might be missing something but I thought copper was bad for inverts. I have just bought a new tub of vitalis marine pellets and noticed one of the ingredients listed is copper sulphate. Is this not going to be bad if one of my shrimps tries to eat it. I'm sure it's safe else they wouldn't...

    Fallow, What to feed tank?

    I current have 1 CBS and 10 cerith Snails in my display that I have begun to fallow. I have some Coraline algae in there too. I'd like to eradicate my spionid worms aswell, but in order to do that I'd need to have no food come to the bottom. Another thing is if I have no nitrates...won't...

    Coral won’t open after feeding

    So last week I fed my palys reef roids mixed with phytoplankton and ever since then they have not opened back up it’s coming up on the 8th day of this and I’m starting to get concerned, is there anything I can do? Or is there anything I should do?

    What would you do if you were me?

    Curious how all of you would design a food regimen for my tank. I know that there are tons of variables, but assume a perfect world (i.e. nutrient export isn't an issue, home all day, etc). I'm struggling with figuring out how many times to feed, what to feed and when to feed it, how much to...

    Adding unhatched brine shrimp eggs to aquarium. What would happen?

    Everything says to hatch the eggs first then add the live brine a little at a time as food. But what if I want a constant food supply for picky fish. Can I add eggs directly to the tank so they can pick them off as they hatch? I’m thinking of wrasses and filefish in particular.

    Is feeding your coral worth it?

    So I have a 140 gallon tank and every Wednesday I feed my coral reef Roids. But lately I haven’t been feeding them, and have noticed tremendous growth. So do you think feeding coral really works?
