Best tips for coral growth?

[Ponraj A]

I don’t dissolve it , just added to my tank. And I don’t turn off my skimmer

@RussiReef thanks for your time and reply, will try that. Do you think it will be problem if I dissolve it and the pour into my tank. I am hesitating what happens if my fishes are swallowing the granules?

Flow
Consistent Alk
Metal halide lighting.

you can play with your LED lunar cycle blah blah blah all you want, halides grow sps like nothing else.

Strange, I've run my tank with a metal halide lamp for years. After installing LED last year the coral growth formly exploded.

Yes,that what I feed my corals.

Do you order online? Any links?
The 3 online places I found, are out of stock.

I'm interested in trying this myself.

Are all instant dry yeast the same or what to look out for? Interested thanks.

 

[Scrubber_steve]

Info is somewhat sparse but brewing yeast seems popular for this purpose

Like everyone said stability and feeding are essential to grow corals. But for the best tip of what increase the growth in my tank was alkalinity. I was running at 9 dkh and had to increase my dosage once every couple of months. I increase to 11 dkh and now I have to increase my dosage every week to two weeks because of the growth. I can now literally watch the corals grow day by day.

What are your N03 and P04 levels? Thanks.

I do not think it would be a problem if you dissolve it. By the way my fishes likes to eat yeast and I do not see a negative effect.

great to hear your reply and i have tried for the last two days and i can see some noticeable improvement. Hope to see more soon as you nothing good in this hobby will happen fast !!!!

Yes, that’s all I feed my corals ( not counting the fish poop ) . Considering heavy bio load, I give 3 pinches of yeast every other day.
I feed my fish with the myces shrimp and dry pellets. My fish also like to eat yeast.

3 pinches in how large of a system? Which looks fantastic BTW!

I have an auto feeder that dumps in food 4 times a day. I only regularly check Alkalinity and phosphorous, I use a Hanna phosphorous ULR checker. I like it around 20 ppb. This last week the tank has been 4-5ppb. When that happens I throw in some extra frozen food or Reef Roids. I don't regularly check nitrates. They always stay inline with the phosphate level.

The system is so stable and levels stay so low I am planning on plumbing my other tank to the sump and running the return from the manifold. That way I can eliminate the sump and all of the filter equipment for that tank.

This of you who feed yeast, what are your thoughts on the product reef bugs? A friend started using it a while ago and his tank turned around better than I have ever seen. It's always been in my head to try it but the reviews seem to keep me at Bay. Even though the science behind it seems to be a really good addition to a mature reef tank.

Went to 3 different local markets and this is all I found.

Will this work or is it a specific brand?

Angel's dry yeast is a bakers yeast. There all the same. But there is also brewers yeast & I've read of people using that for aquariums.
What Is the Difference Between Brewer's Yeast & Baker's Yeast?

 

[scuzy]

They should work.
