Bubble tip Anemone
Mushrooms
Zoas
Euphyllias

Tangs
Wrasses


I feed

Corals

Reef roids
Was thinking of trying

Reef chili and red sea

Fish

Hikari Mysis
Hikari spirulina
Ocean nutrition formula two pellets
Ocean nutrition formula two flakes
New life spectrum tropical fish diet pellets
New life spectrum marine fish pellets

I feed 2x a day

Morning dry
Evening frozen

I also add selcon 1x a week.

Should I not add selcon or is it good.

 

[CanuckReefer]

One

Reef Roids and Omega One frozen cyclops (the fish pick up some scraps too)

Two
Omega One Green Seaweed sheets
Dried Dulse (highly recommend, cheaper than many LFS seaweed, available at some grocers, my tangs and Angel's devour it)
Tropical Soft Line sinking pellets
Omega One Reef Formula frozen
My own blended frozen mix from wild caught scallops, shrimp, and clams, farmed mussels and dulse.

Feed Dulse and seaweed, 2-3 times daily, frozen once in evening.

Dulse any particular brand?

So chop the scallops, shrimp and clams, farmed mussels and dulse or blend them in a blender?

Atlantic Mariculture and Seaside Nova are the two I use. So long as they are just plain and not marinated in anything you good to go. Usually available in larger supermarkets seafood section if you inquire.... at least here in Canada anyway. You could also use some nori, green seaweed in place of it.

Chop it up a bit with chefs knife and pulse a while in the blender, with a tiny bit of RO if it seems thick.

No problem, let us know if they have it, curious to know. Harvested from Northern East coast of both Can and US, so should be available somewhere would think.

Excellent. Just be sure once bag is opened to keep sealed well, transfer to a ziplock etc if needed. Will keep it a bit softer/ tastier

I dont directly feed the corals, they eat whatever they catch when i feed the fish, fish poop and lights. I feed my fish once a day in the evening 12 cubes of various types of Hikari frozen cubes and PE mysis.

 

[Aero]

You can’t go wrong with PE mysis, high in nutrients and fish and inverts love it

 

[CanuckReefer]

Ok I will.

I did try adding pure krill oil as a food soak, while i believe it would be fantastic, the addition completely flattened my skimmer operation for hours
