Benepets vs reefroids for corals

[eg8r210]

I have used both and can't decide what is better. I am leaning towards reefroids...

whats everyone's opinion?

Reef Roids always causing nutrient spike in my tank. Dosing the same with benepets does not. I mix one teaspoon of benepets in with a few cubes of frozen food. I dose that all day every day. My nitrates are at 5 and my phosphates stay between .03 and .05.

Same here with reef roids. I have heard many claims of reef roids being amazing and perfect, but 1/4th of the doseage causes giant nutrient spikes in my nano. Good to know benepets works well for you.

Where's the evidence?

anyone who has ever used reefroids. thats the evidence. put reef roids in your tank. wait 40 hours. watch it jump TREMENDOUSLY.

I think the reason why Benepets has become so popular is because of the effect that yeast has on the bacteria in our systems. It is more of a systemic 'food' whereas reefroids a more robust source of nutrient packed food, hence the high po4.

They both serve their purposes. My one other nano with no filter for some reason is a nutrient sponge - tank always stays bottomed out even though corals thrive. I add reef roids all the time to that tank. My evo though has high and creeping PO4, so I never add Reef Roids and just Benepets. It seems to work out well!

Sometimes I wonder if plastic + silicon in a tank is a sole reason for massive PO4 absorbtion.

heavy feeder here. I just can't resist lol
I feed 2-3 plus 1 heavy feeding right before water change weekly at a 1:0.5 ratio since reefroid do raises no3/po4 alot. I also run BRS GFO/cabon on a schedule and dose brightwell/red sea products to lower no3/po4.
