Been broadcast feeding reef roids about once a week. Everything, even the lps and softies, seem to really like it
None that i've observed. I'm sort of a light feeder thoughCrabs you don't see a PO4 spike after broadcasting? I'm afraid to broadcast. I Broadcast Aquavitro Fual, but I used a precise target feeding with the roids... In fear I will have too many wasted in the water table and result in nutrient spikes.
Do you just follow the recommended dose on the label? And do you mix or add anything else with it?Been broadcast feeding reef roids about once a week. Everything, even the lps and softies, seem to really like it
I don't mix anything else with it. I do less than the recommended dose, about half of what it says I should.Do you just follow the recommended dose on the label? And do you mix or add anything else with it?
I feed the fish. I also feed the corals with high quality Metal Halide.
There have been times where I thought that I saw a difference in supplementing or feeding the corals, but then when I stopped, nothing changed. I have come to the conclusion that my mind was just out of whack and probably looking for some positive. Others swear by feedings.
I just posted something regarding this. I have fed aminos, coral food etc while keeping PO4 at .03-.05 ppm (Hanna ULR). The SPS color and PE hasn't been great. I recently was out of town for a week and set up an auto feeder to dump a mixture of pellets and flake in the water twice a day. When I returned my sand bed was very colorful and the glass was filthy. When I peered through the filth the SPS color and PE was dramatically improved. Alk consumption had spiked. I had no idea I could see such a quick, positive reaction in my SPS. For my tank it seems dirtier water in general is better. The pellets are that Neptune stuff coated in coral food, perhaps that's magic? I can deal with the extra cleaning duty if this is the result.
Definitely a good amount of votes to the "feed fish well" category. Kinda interesting to see the contrast between keep tiny amount of fish and feed sparingly crowd and the moderate/heavy load with strong feeding crowd. Definitely a good amount of success in both categories from what I've seen so far though.I feed the fish, often.
LRS Reef Frenzy twice daily
Algae sheet once daily
Whole Littleneck clam once daily

What are your water volumes and how do you control nitrates and phosphates?I feed my tank and mixture of Mysis, brine, calanus, lrs nano, and lrs breeders. couple times a week pellets or flakes and then maybe once a week roids or reef chili if I remember. funny thing is im still at 0 on my phosphates.
My phosphates are staying at 0 and I do not have anything removing it other than the system itself. As for nitrates I actually dose it to keep it up otherwise it drops to low. I have mixed reef and my sps like my nitrates to be around 5-10. I have a 75 gallon tank with a 40 gallon sump.What are your water volumes and how do you control nitrates and phosphates?
I like to dose stability, patience, and keep it simple.
