Feeding LPS Coral Question.

[Evan West]

Hello all, with my tank going up soon and coral down the road I want to ask about feeding LPS corals. First this will be a 20g long tank with no skimmer lit by a kessil a360we tuna blue. My main way of exporting nutrients will be a 25% per week water change. I plan to feed the fish Hikari Seaweed Extreme and Canadian Mysis. With that information I plan to possibly keep any of the following types of Corals:

Hammer
Frogspawn
Duncan
Goni
Zoa, palys
Lords and Acan (Not sure if these are the same thing or not)
Mushroom
Fungia
Favia
Candy canes
Scolymia
Toadstool
Blastos

Are any of these, aside form the Acans and Lords witch i know should be target fed once or twice a week with mysis, going to benefit in a significant way from target feeding with mysis or additional target or broadcast feeding with foods like reef chilli?

With exception to your mushrooms and toadstools, everything else I believe would benefit from feeding. With so many soft corals you might look into a protein skimmer to help with the bio load. They will produce allot of mucus and slime. JMO

What kind of feeding do you recommend? Broadcast feeding with something like reef chili or more targeted?

As far as the skimmer goes i would like to run one however this tank will not have a sump so that makes things tricky. I will not be keeping all those corals all at once but those are the ones im considering choosing from and with the 25% strict weekly WCs im hoping to keep things in check.
