So I travel a lot for weeks to months - and I want to feed my SPS. I have a friend who feeds the fish a couple times a week spirulina and LFC reef rods as not too get too neglected.
That said I have a 240 and an extra apex feeder. I dose phyto, zooplankton, and fuel (all seachem) but its so little in the scheme of things and bottle might last two weeks. So they get some of that but it settles in the bottle too. I was thinking it would be good to get some more food plus the tank can handle the nitrates.
I was wondering if the surface agitation was enough, maybe I could dose some powder via the feeder. If needed maybe to the return pump section for better mixing potential (also easier to program to dose at night. Maybe have a silica packet in it to ensure it doesnt clump. Has anyone done this? I saw some posts similar but nothing with results posted...
