Benepets. I was using reef roids but have switched. You could try thatReef roids is what i use. Haven’t found a better alternative to a dry food.
I’ve heard good things. Sometimes my corals look upset after a feeding. Almost like the mix is too strong.Benepets. I was using reef roids but have switched. You could try that
I actually use a Red Sea Product called Coral Colors A and B... My corals thrive on it...
I experimented with various aminos for about 4 months last year. I abruptly stopped on 12-26-19. I wanted to witness any adverse effects to my SPS tank. All that I noticed, at the time, was that the extremely vibrant green on the ORA Red Planet and the Walt Disney seemed to fade a bit. Which was kind of good because the pinks on the RP were more pronounced. So I just didn’t dose anymore.
Fast forward to this week...I have had really good pH and a consumption increase over the last couple weeks. This has caused a near ULNS environment which I do not want. For 3 days I dosed NeoPhos and nitrate to keep my numbers at .03 and 5+ respectively. I noticed no differences in the coral health or color. Wednesday I remembered that I had some Red Sea Reef Energy A&B Aminos still in the fridge so I decided to dose a bit over the recommended amount for my system because it also increases NO3 and my goal was to get up to 10 on NO3. I also left the skimmer off for 9hrs while I was at work. When I got home that afternoon, I was immediately taken back by the coral colors. It was a dramatic increase in color depth and contrast, to use a photography term. The below picture (as poor quality as it is) shows the dramatic color variations I’ve witnessed. This coral is normally mostly green with some hints of pink, yellow. Look at all the incredible color spectrums coming out in it. I’m blown away
It’s still early, but I believe this particular amino is having a dramatic effect on my colors....
Thanks Tim! I forgot to mention what it is....this is the Windy City Reefs RainbowLooks very colorful to me. Nice work, Jesse!
I mean, realistically, if I wanted to make the joke more accurate, I would have said bulls instead of goats as historically that is what Ancient Greeks (especially Minoans) sacrificed to Poseidon. But for the purposes of the silliness, I thought goats would be better lol
Unfortunately I couldn't find a silly meme to go with it!! >.<
Why do you think my tank is polluted?

I spot feed reef roids so I mix outside of the tank and feed the corals with a syringe. Do you think the benepets would mix well that way?I actually tried a free sample of that when I got a big saltwater aquarium order. I didn’t like it because it didn’t mix well with water. Reef roids stays suspended and almost dissolves but the benpets stuff either floats or sinks depending on the time of day.

ZOAS can be tricky at times, some love high flow, some high light some low light. You can easily morph colors by just changing the light intensity.For me it’s zoas And plays They grow like stink. But tend to develop a deep blue color . My armor of gods turned completely navy blue!
No matter what the color, every zoanthid I put in my tank will end up looking the same brown color after a few weeks. They don't die, just grow long stalks and lose color. I thought I was doing good keeping PO4 below .15 but guess I need to try to keep it close to .1 (may need to auto dose Phospate-Rx to keep up with it!).
That works for meThat’s how I feed. It didn’t for me.
Looking at doing a 40b reef.....What filtration and lighting are you using? Thx
