Feeding Corals

[Reesj]

How many of you feed your corals ?
I have to feed my corals as got some nps in the tank. So I put soem hikari Coralific delite every fw days.
But I'm hoping to switch to reefroids and was thinking of adding Polyp booster or Red seas AB+.

How many of you are feeding your corals and with which products ?

 

[rubertoe93]

I feed mine with reef roids every few days but I’m not really sure how often you are supposed to feed them, they do pack nitrate and phosphate tho! I feed Red Sea AB+ every day tho and that’s ace!
following along for the reef roid answer if you don’t mind!

 

[Bryknicks]

I target feed twice a week with coral frenzy powder, coral frenzy reef pellets, aquavitro fuel, and phytoplankton.

 

[Gtinnel]

I target feed my corals with reef roids and mysis shrimp for the lps about twice a week.

 

[AdamB]

target feed twice a week with reef roids but changing to Coral Feast this week to keep nitrates / etc down

 

[itsken37]

All of my coral reacts positively to reef-roids

 

[Reesj]

Yep seems many ppl prefer reef roids and love it.
I'm trying to suplement something with amino acids like the red sea AB+ or polyp booster and was wondering what others might be using and how are their results. Need to decide on a cheaper one to fit my wallet of this type .

 

[AdamB]

I dose acropower through my GHL doser for my mixed reef tank with good results

 

[tnewell]

+1, reef roids and mysis for lps and scolys twice a week

 

[Murphsreef]

Hikari coral gumbo twice a week, reef chili and red sea AB+ twice a week, aminos as needed.

 

[vsolovyev]

Reef roids, and polyp lab polyp booster every other day, gets amazing reaction from all of my lps and sps

 

[Double monti 61]

PE frozen mysis shaved on a knife and thawed broadcast feeding.

 

[krash7172]

I broadcast a few different foods a few times per month. Roids, Macrovore, brine. I have mostly softies and LPS. I'll shut off pumps for 15-30 mins and let them eat My tank is tall so target feeding isn't easy.

The lights, fish poop and whatever they get when I feed the fish.

I usually feed mine reefroids once a week but going to start doing 2x a week after adding acans and nutrients being low

 

[hds4216]

I love feeding my LPS. I tend to feed them about three times a week, which is probably a lot. I like the faster growth though, and they're all doing well.

 

[blasterman]

Frozen brine shrimp for LPS and larger palys.

Roids now and then. Just watch your phosphate.

This +1000

No one directly feeds corals in the ocean, why should we in our tanks? Feed the tank, not the fish, and everything eats.

Oh wait, someone is going to point out no one directly feeds fish in the ocean like we do in our tank either. My response to that is fish can swim around in the ocean to catch their food, corals cannot. Not a good counter argument. IMO

I find it very funny that most everyone that directly feed their corals, are also the same people that are posting problems about algae. Ever wonder why?

In Ocean there are soo many stuff in the nsw. Most times its called as a plantonic soup. Corals get soo much food most of the time in ocean compared with our tanks.
I bet you never kept a nps coral with that thinking

But yes. Normally, if no nps or some other demanding corals like goniopora etc.. soem corals can survive in a well cared for tank without special feedings. But thats not the aim of the topic is it..
