Coral feeding

[mike007]

How often do you feed your corals?

I feed my zoas, star polyps and ricordia twice a week with oyster food, .5ml each time. I also add iodine, strontium, molybdium weekly. 1 ml each. I dose calcium and magnesium only when it's low. I have a 12g nano.

Bout once a month. Don't have enough at the moment to make it every other week.

I am a big advocate of feeding corals. I feed 2 times per week usually in the evenings when the feeding tentacles are out. For my LPS corals I target feed with rinsed/thawed frozen mysis. For my sps, gorgonians and the the 2 Carnation corals in my tank, I alternate with oyster eggs, Tropic Marin Pro-Coral Phyton and TM Zooton. I've noticed better polyp extension and more pods in my tank since I started feeding more often with the Pro Coral foods.

I spot/direct feed chili directly to everything I can once per week late night when all the feeders are out and the fish are somewhat sleeping/hiding. I do a small feeding of my fish daily and I know that the coral is also indirectly being feed from this process as well.

I make a cocktail of a cube of Cyclopeeze, Oysterfeast, Marine Snow, Reef Chili and ReefRoids. Once a week, I target feed without the circulating pumps running, and then turn on the circulating pumps for an hour without the returns running. Some LPS, i.e. Favia, Blasto's, Plate, and Duncan, I target feed with some PE mysis after I've fed the fish, twice a week.

I have never really been a target feeder of my corals. That said I do feed the tank with a cube of Cyclopeze and some reef chili weekly, and lately have been ading some phyto to the tank. I am about to the point on my tank were I need more nitrates to keep the Phosphate low with my pellets.

I target feed all my corals every other day with a mix of Rods, Selcon, Cyclopeeze and Reef Roids and sometimes a bit of Phyto Feast if I have it. I overfeed my tank but both my tanks are Zoa dominated and really love it! :)

I try to shoot for twice a day.
