Here's a secret, I now spill the beans, mention 99% of my secrets, why? It makes no sense to one day sell these and only to die a slow death. Here it goes. In the last 3 days or 4, started to feed powder whole egg, feeding in a fish feeder, results are promising. If anyone tries this,use organic whole egg powder. The one product I use has silicoaluminate, no harm yet to corals. Time will tell. One more secret I'm offering.

I modified mine to feed once every 45minutes.

Interesting.

Question. Have you ever considered reaching out to Indo Pacific Sea Farms and see how their Coral Heaven food might work? I use it and find it works amazingly well. I believe they recommend it for all polyp-bearing cnidarians. It isn't expensive and you mix it up as needed and freeze the rest.

I think it would be worth a try. Too bad I am not closer to you - I'd run some over.

I will talk to them and see what we can do, thank you for that info. But I've been using the powdered whole egg and it's not organic , long enough now and I see no atrophy and some Mass gain on other corals. Right now I just found my powder whole anchovies and I'm going to replace that with the whole egg and see if I get the same results.

NP - all good. I was feeding the other night when I thought of you about it - lol. I believe it was a 5 year study when developing it. I know you have been pretty documenting what you are doing so all good .

Keep up the great work.

talking about food to feed the children of the sea this just came in the mail two pounds of organic whole powder egg

Also this came in today, I'm going to start a thread on making a chiller with a window air conditioner, I have a thread before but not with this type of heat exchanger that I got.

I'm getting the coral heaven food, thx

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

for next 7 days, going to feed whole anchovies in powder form, powder food going into fish feeder and fed. Like to see what happens.

Pretty cool. Let me know what you think. I've used it over the years with pretty decent success. I like both IPSF and Tropicorium worked together and the story. Like I said I was feeding it the other night, granted on a smaller scale than what you do, and thought of your thread. I was thinking it could be a good fit.

Didn't know they made such a thing. Do you just broadcast into the water column or target feed using baster while gliding over coral(s)? Also do you have to feed at night at all or can you leave flow on, disable over flows, and let it work through naturally?

 

[Dr. Dendrostein]

I broadcast feed with the liquid food and the powder food. Every 10 minutes about half a milliliter of liquid food is fed and at night time from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., every hour the fish feeder drops some food. In the daytime from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every two hours the fish feeder drops food, and the liquid food is still fed every 10 minutes half a millimeter.

it's time to frag some more children of the sea coming
