Yet another rookie mistake

[spcunnin]

Never target feed with zooplankton! I used the product from seachem.
To be fair to the product I did not follow the directions.
Burned four corals within hrs. The rest seem ok. What product should I use, or should I not target feed at all?

No need to target feed acropora. The only thing I target feed is LPS.

It's a individual choice to target feed acropora but not a necessity by any means, water chemistry, and lighting is far more important.

You need to be more specific when you post you did not follow the directions, including water chemistry would be of assist as well.

Hope your corals recover.

Good point. Instruction say add a cap full per 50 gallons. Nothing about target feeding. Not sure water chemistry would be applicable in this case. I'm sure they will go back. Just found a vid on YouTube of someone burning lots more corals than me with this product. Seem like I got lucky in comparison.

Hopefully all recover well and maybe others will see this and avoid the same mistake. Thank you for sharing this.

Don't feel bad, I did this myself when I was starting out and wiped out a few corals. Some recovered but it took a long time. Thankfully I was just starting out so I only had a few basic corals,
