pre-mixing powdered coral food?

[cmross13]

i have Seachem Fuel and Red Sea AB+ that i MUCH prefer feeding due to the simplicity of just pouring in liquid, but i also have Reef Roids and BRS Reef Chili that are sitting there and i dont want to go to waste.

any reason why i couldn't pre-mix a couple days or maybe a weeks worth of the powder in a higher concentration and just refrigerate? obviously shake well before adding to tank lol

Seems like a reasonable method. Curious if anyone has any downsides to this method?

This could work as long as bacteria doesn’t accumulate

I have been doing this for last several months. I mix both roids and chili with AB+ and make enough for 3-4 days and keep in fridge. My corals go crazy now when it’s added. Not sure I would premix Aminos with roids/chili and keep more than a few days at a time but for sure my corals and colors have never been happier.
