Where do you get live worms from?Broadcast. I start off by turning off the pumps and feeding live black worms to the fish. The fish go crazy as soon as the worms hit the water and start to wiggle, even the timid ones get right in the middle of the action. Once the worms are done the pumps are turned on and I broadcast feed either Reef Frenzy or if I'm out my own concoction of the same type of food.
I do both. I target feed my spotted Mandarin and corals and broadcast feed my other fish. Quite a nightmare at times since spot feeding my corals is hard to do when my clownfish fight me to get to the corals and steal their food before they can even taste it.
That sounds terrible, I know when I “target” feed my corals I just lightly dust them and that’s it, I have never had a problemBroadcast. Don’t force your corals to eat. Heard so many stories of people killing their corals because they shove reef roids down their throats. Corals dead 2 or 3 days later…
How new/old is your tank? Skimmer and fuge can be effective, but I've found once a tank matures the nitrates and phosphates don't bottom out as easily. I have mixed reef with wide variety sps.And I have an sps dominant. Just have heavy out (skimmer, large refugium) I have to broadcast everyday and feed pellets 5 times from an auto feeder to just keep some nitrates and phosphates

Same. Have heard lots of stories firsthand of friends over stuffing their corals with food and killing them. The foods available to us are potent, and if the food is there, even a light dusting, it'll trigger a response and they'll eat it. It's not unlike how some dogs would eat themselves into a coma if you gave them an unlimited amount of kibble. Corals need a diet too!Broadcast. Don’t force your corals to eat.

About 10 less fish now. Some of my original 18 chromis are gone. Still have over 20 fish in the tank. Haha10 years in September.
