Cool food and when to feed?

[DEL 707]

I have a 56l tank with a mix of soft and lps corals.

Soft corals
Zoas
Kenya Tree
Toadstool
Green Star Polyps
Clove Polyps

LPS
Duncan
Torch
Chalice
Hammer

My feeding routine is once a week with Reef Roids and twice a week with Red Sea Reef Energy Plus (AB+). I sometimes squirt some brine shrimp into the Duncan.
I feed later in the evening, about 2 hours before lights out, mainly because of the time I get home from work.

I recently saw AF Zoa Food and wondering if it was worth trying out or whether it's a waste of time with all the stuff I'm already adding?

I read that some people feed after lights out. Should I be doing this for my LPS, since all the softies close up once the lights are off?

All of these coral will thrive even without feedings so I wouldn't stress it too much. With the zoa food, I can't imagine it would make much of a difference compared to reef roids. As for the order of feeding you can add the AB+ let if mix around and give the corals a chance to send out their feeders, then spot feed with other foods(shrimp, pellets, reefroids). Feeding at night can be good as corals tend to send out feeders but they will also send them out when they sense food. Just do whatever works for you and your schedule :)

I'd think anything additionally would be overkill.

None of these need to be fed. These are photosynthetic and will get everything they need from good tank conditions and light

LPS
Duncan

Feed mysis 2-3x a week for faster growth
But, will also do fine without feeding

Torch

Needs good light, can benefit from meaty food feedings 1-2x a week. Mysis is good.

Chalice

Only needs light

Hammer

Light is fine. I grew hammer from 2 heads to 30 heads with no feeding

My feeding routine is once a week with Reef Roids

Unnecessary unless using it to increase phosphates

and twice a week with Red Sea Reef Energy Plus (AB+).

Im not sure this actually has any beneficial effects, but I do use it myself.

I sometimes squirt some brine shrimp into the Duncan.

Good. Do same for the torch

I feed later in the evening, about 2 hours before lights out, mainly because of the time I get home from work.

This is ok

I haven’t used it but I doubt it will do anything

I feed mine in evening when lights are dimmer but still on
