Feeding corals

[Dboysfan1]

Should I feed my corals a few days after a water change?

I always do it before a water change.

If you keep your tank well fed - most corals that feed from the water column will get their food from fish poop. You can definitely feed your corals extra if you'd like - the general rule is be careful with your nutrients. Lots of reefers over feed and encounter excess nutrient issues. Otherwise, corals always love extra food

Of course there's also the corals that require hand feeding to make sure they eat well -

To answer your question more specifically, if your tank is balanced and stable already you can feed them anytime you'd like. Before, after.... granted you're not overloading your system with nutrients. I feel it doesn't really make a difference

Thank you much!

Great water major/minor elements + Great lighting + Fish poop = everything a coral need to thrive
