Feeding!

heathd.hd · Dec 30, 2014

I know there's a ton of food topics around here but I'm gonna start a new one. So I have a 110 g oceanic with a refugium and a 225 diablo xs skimmer. I run a filter sock 3 days a week. Never had any p 03 or p04 on my tests show up. But my real question is what should I add to my feeding regiment besides what I already do. I feed rods vegi diet 2 times a day. About 1\2" squares. I chop up the package of frozen and put into a Tupperware container. I have a one spot rabbit a purple tang a tomini tang and a malanarus wrasse. All about 3 - 4" fish. This seems to work great for my fish but are my corals getting enough food?

I'm adding a rather large group of sps soon so I wanna get my feeding regiment straight from the start of these new corals. The tank is mostly sps with a few acans and some Z's n P's.

As long as your getting decent colour and growth I'd say your feeding enough, but then again, I feed as much as possible until I start seeing nutrient/algae problems then cut it back just a bit. So if your not seeing nutrient issues you could probably bump up feedings if you wanted to.
What is in the veggie diet? Is it a herbivore food or an omnivore food? Also, are there any SPS/filter feeder sized ingredients? I don't have access to that food so I don't know much about it.

Here's all I'm feeding rightly now.

Just feel like I need more sps food in the tank.

Just a quick scan over the ingredients list looks like it's a good all round reef food. I think you'll be ok feeding just that. Maybe every few days add an extra portion so there's a bit if extra food in the water column?
Keep in mind, I don't have a great deal of experience with SPS or their feeding behaviour.
