Feeding Zoas reef roids for fast growth?

[FangsAndGames]

I have some reef roids I can use to feed my Zoas. Should I or even, could I?

I do and growth has rapidly increased. I target feed every other day.(usually lol)

I feed a lot lighter than most, once a week Roid's, once a week or two mysis or other...

My aquarium servicer and I are tight. He actually just gives me some of his high end stuff as well as some more common frags for free. I’ll send pics if anyone is up for ID.

I use them on my zoas. Had them in the tank for about a month but only using the roids for about 2.5 weeks. I target feeds once a week and spread feed one to two times a week. Shut the filter pump off and let them go. I have five plugs and between the five I’ve gotten roughly 6-7 new heads on them. They are super bright and healthy looking but this is my first time with zoas so I’m not the most knowledgeable on them.

I was feeding reefroids frequently but my waste export didn't match my input and I ended up with a bad phosphate issue. The zoas loved it and grew faster, but at the cost of color. Just something to think about

Feed mine reef roids but may switch to benereef for better nutrient control... def helps them grow especially in a low nutrient environment!

 

[FangsAndGames]

Thanks everybody! I’m not concerned with nutrients and will probably feed more aggressively than most.

Anyone have a video on the process of feeding their zoas?

No video, but can tell you that I use a clean syringe from the Aiptasia X. Mix up about 15 ml of water with about 2 ml of reefroids. Mix it well then fill the syringe. Turn off the water pumps and simply push a small mount in each polyp. The hermit crabs will come running so be prepared to fend them off or give them a small squirt to get their attention. When feeding my chalices, I have to stay on guard from the hermits for about 30 minutes.

I use reef rods to feed my Zoas and my Duncans and a few soft mushrooms. But I do not see a lot of growth.

I use RR for all of my corals - target feed about 1X per week and broadcast about 1X per week. Everything seems to be growing just fine. I did overfeed today but was planning a water change later in the day so it was OK

 

[FangsAndGames]

Thank you. I have a 125 and only two frags at the moment so I’m feeding every other day.

Well I do have a little bit more than 2 frags in my Waterbox 100

 

[FangsAndGames]

Really?

started feeding mine Reef Roids 3 weeks ago and all Zoas are opened huge and spread much faster\. I'm feeding every 3 days with syringe
