New batch of frags... feeding frequency?

[Ejostling]

In the last couple of weeks we have added 15 new frags. Our system is at least a year old but we suffered a major crash around November so lost all of our coral. Trying to build anew. So...how often do you feed new frags? I was thinking every 3rd day hoping to see some growth...reef roofs, mysis shrimp. I export nutrients pretty well, no signs of algae at this time.

Feed as often as you want as long as youre exporting the excess without issue.

Also,
Keep an eye on your macros as the consumption will soon start to change substantially from the new additions.

Less with a larger tank obviously lol.

The macros would consume all the nutrients first before the corals though wouldn't it? So if there isn't nutrients in the tank, the corals would die first then the corals... IME.

By macros, I think @Saltyreef is referring to ALK, CA, and Mg......these three would be consumed by the addition of new, growing frags.
