Broadcast or Target Feed?

[john.m.cole3]

Do you take the time and target feed your corals or do you just feed the tank? What foods do you use/like?

Both, but prefer to target. Dr. G's LPS food, Coral Frenzy powder and Coral Frenzy 1 mm pellets, zooplankton from Seachem (not alive anymore of course), small pieces of finely chopped up shrimp (San Francisco Bay), AA's and vitamins from Brightwell which are normally broadcast with skimmer off for 15 minutes, or if targeting, I add them to my mix of foods.

I prefer to target feed coral frenzy since I noticed algae likes it when I dump it in the water all at once

Agreed with ya on that one FugeTown...

I broadcast feed (ok...occasionally I target feed LPS bc I like to watch the feeding response...but generally I broadcast). I use LRS and Coral Frenzy.

I broadcast feed alternating between Rod's original reef blend and PE mysis. Every wednesday I leave the skimmer off and throw in some docs eco egg brew to give the corals a small sized tasty treat.

I target feed all corals with reef roids :)
My acans LOVE it

Broadcast feed. Will probably do some target feeding eventually but everything is happy for the moment

Target feed once a week with LRS reef frenzy or Mysis.

I guess it all depends on what kinds of corals we are talking about here,,, I have mostly all acans,,, I target feed them once a week,, I try and do it on Thursdays,,, do a water change on Sundays,,, Tuesdays I put a bit of Reef Roids in my Mysis shrimp water ,,,

Once a week i will do a small broadcast feed just to get a response, about 20 minutes later i target feed everything a mix of brine shrimp, mysis, lobster eggs,rotifers, prawn & red plankton.
I leave all pumps off for around 20 mins so they can eat their fill then do my weekly water change.
