Feeding NPS corals (Esp. Non-Photosynthetic Gorgonians). Would Easybooster Phyto suspension feed them or do they require different foods?

Whatever way your tank is setup, these are the two main keys, 1. Get polyps to open, 2. Pacific oysters are a plus for MOST NPS CORALS. Oysters filter water naturally and add vital nutrients back to water that corals love.

How long would you expect it to take for a yellow finger gorgonian to puff up and really open its polyps? I added mine a week ago. Feeding live phytofeast, PNS probio, rotifeast, oyster feast, reef frenzy nano, spiralina enriched brine shrimp all daily (broadcast), and reef roids 1x per week. I have tons of copepods and the tank was started with live rock from kp aquatics.

1. is that feeding regimen sufficient for NPS gorgs?

2. I suspect flow might be the issue. I've read everything from low flow to high flow; turbulent flow to unidirectional laminar flow; intermediate speed to bidirectional laminar flow. Which is it?

3. I'm in the process of building a refrigerated auto-doser. I will add pacific oysters and macros to assist with filtration. Running a massive canister on a 21g long filled with bioballs. Thoughts?

4. I'm late to the party on this post, but I'm open to any and all advice. I adore NPS snd filter feeders, and I want to be successful.
