I target feed reef roids once a week and my hammers/torches send out their stringy gooey web of food, but then it kind of detaches and I don't see their mouths opening. my GSP goes nuts for it. they are happy and healthy and I just do this to supplement a bit so not a major concern but jw if anyone else has noticed this?

Have you tried Billy Pipes version of feeding roids -

I used to do it Billys' way when my frogspawn and hammer were smaller (IE: 2 heads) but now both have 20+ and there's also some SPS in with them - I've switched over to dosing EASY SPS and they've literally exploded

never heard of it but I'll check it out. I was going to switch to Red Sea Coral Max.

Do you notice any algae problems? My phosphates are high with Reef Roids but not unbearable

I noticed nutrients raise when I got carried away with Reef Roids, but as my tanks matured and corals started growing (and I backed off over feeding) everything settled down. Nothing major, sand would get a little red for a day or two but nothing extreme.

Since dosing Easy SPS from coral vue not only are the SPS growing but everything has gone crazy - galaxia, GSP etc.. everything has reacted to the Easy SPS

Did you notice your hammer growing using Easy SPS as well?

Tidal Gardens has said that feeding Euphyllia is not necessary since they rarely eat the food and seem to thrive on whatever they can find in the tank. However, I’m new to this so I don’t really have an opinion yet.

You mean this? Interesting never heard of it.

Sure you're not a sales/spokes person ;-)?

Yes, that's the stuff & NO I'm far from being a spokesman for them.
