Broadcast feeding

[HumbleAsianReefer]

Dumb question here. Is it okay for not target feeding? I’ve never target feeding my corals. LPS dominated tank with some softies. I broadcast feed reef roids every 3 days. Been doing so for past 1 year plus. Corals looks great, healthy n didnt lose colours. Just asking out of curiousity. Thanks

yes it's ok, only thing i would do its test your phosphates has reef roids will shoot them up

Yes. If it's not broke don't fix it

I’m running ATS on my system. Few months ago, i’m on ULNS. I dont think i have to worry about po4. I tested po4 every week, and its always around 0.03-0.06

Coz i’m too lazy to target feed. I rather clean my glass every day

Nothing wrong with that

I'm gonna have to say if it's not broke don't fix it.

If you're having success without target feeding, I would suggest continuing, I've always had luck as well without target feeding, but have occasionally "just to be safe" but it didn't seem to make a difference for me when I did.

Having 100's and 100's of corals I can't imagine how mind numbing it would be to try and target feed them.

There are certain corals that require this kind of attention - Like Tubastrea. But I haven't come across any other corals that can't thrive in captivity without being target fed.
