What do you spot feed?

It's a mixture of reefroids and mysid, reefroids and brine shrimp, or cyclopeze with mysid or brine. I squirt directly into each polyp. the palys take it up pretty well. I've only done it this way since i spot feed my acans, duncans, and frogspawn. It's been doing well for me so I don't want to change up the routine. My nitrate is between 2.5 and 1 (salifert test) so I don't know if that's good but it hasn't harmed anything as of yet.

Thanks ahayes13. It's just killing me how patient I have to be.

Sweet and agree witht he feeding. I feed minced mysis, silverside, brine, krill and mix with phytoplex and target feed. My PDs have gone from 8 polyps to over 40 in 3 months and 6 polyps of nightmares to 24+ since July 10th. Feeding works.

 

[ahayes13]

for the mysid and brine you use frozen foods? and do you use frozen cyclopeze or the dried?

All frozen.

What is the process for spot feeding. What is the consistency of the mix? How do you mix it? etc...etc. I want to try this, but I know nothing about it..
