About every six months or so, I toss in some reef roids.
Lot's of people like Reef Chili, It created some issues for me, I switched to Reef Roids and had good feeding responses with no effects to water chemistry. I bounced back between LRS and Rods food, What I noticed is LRS reef frenzy seems to have more larger chunks and lot's of smaller pieces, corals and fish love this stuff. I switched to Rods food because it as fewer large pieces, more ground up but still some nice chunks from my experience. I have mostly corals, fewer fish so the Rods food worked better for me. Both Rods and LRS are great foods.
That's what I was looking to hear. Maybe I'll do rods twice a week and roids weekly. Already using rods fish only for my clowns and they love it.
Lil tip I got and mostly improved my zoas that have been thriving ever since. When you thaw the Rods, pour Reef fuel by SeaChem with some tank water (1 part fuel/ 4 parts TW). Loads of good stuff in the fuel and the rods will soak it in(be mindful of ingredients if you're already dosing other nutrient supplements). There's no doubt the zoas in particular love the iodine trace's it provides, but all corals benefit. For my reef roids, I add ReefNutrition Arcti pods and a few drops of Selcom. Start slow, monitor your nitrate and PH, increase to the max as time permits.
