I don't believe in feeding coral anything they can't absorb through their dermis. I know through experimentation, both scientifically and anecdotally that they expend more energy breaking down the foods they capture than they gain from capturing them. Aminos and glucose from photosynthesis are as far as I go... although I feed 3 types of liquid food...

Love to hear what liquid foods you do feed and amino acids of choice. I'm use Aquavitro Fuel right now for aminos.

Korallin Zucht LPS for everything

AB Plus on a dosing pump. 3 times a day.

And Brightwell Amino I got cheap, once a week... spot feeding anything that looks hungry

Right now, I use PNS Yellow snow and sometimes will mix up some benepets and put it in. That's down to once every week or two. PNS Yellow I do every three days now about. Kinda like @StatelineReefer I don't think about really 'feeding' my corals. I think of it as if they were in the wild, no one is out there 'feeding' them. So, I just broadcast with the PYS. Seems to be working for me so far!

Now I'm just tearing my hair out over how I'm going to plumb this new sump, never had one before. Modified the eshopps sump, cut the two filter sock holders out so I can hang a reefmat 500 in their place. Just not sure how the rest of the chamber will be... that'll be in the build thread shortly though... lol

Are you using the AminOmega or Aminos? I had a lot better response from the Gonis with the Aminos than I do with the AminOmega.
