Coral food

[scabbedwings616]

I am thinking of making my own coral food to feed at night. What I’m wondering is, can you add amino acids to the mix? Can you add phytoplankton/zooplankton? also, is it Beneficial to add reef roids or reef chili’s to it as well? I’m thinking of mixing all the and making ice cubes out this food.

I would watch your phosphates with the powders in there, I feed them separately so I can mix it up.

So, don’t mix in the powder with it but the other things should be fine to add in?

Yes but I feed live phyto so I doubt that would react well to freezing, a general mix will do it as long as the partical size is good, I have frozen rotifers that I feed once in a blue moon for the corals also.

I mix my live phyto with reef roids

I would say clams oysters and muscles blended into a liquid would be good. If you wanted to added a sechem reef plus or brightwell replenish
