Reef roids

Any recommendations on ways to feed I hear some ppl dose the water and others spot feed. I have a torch, 2 hammers and a toadstool mushroom coral

I personally spot feed and broadcast feed the leftovers. Some species howver, like goniopora, should have direct feeding.

I usually spot feed and it works great. I do it for all the lps I have, response from goniopora amazes you...

Don't have any goniopora. That's an sps coral right? And ok thanks guys! How often? Once a week?

Goniopora is an lps but known to be voracious eaters and somewhat difficult

I spot feed reefroids once a week

I guess goniopora will be my next coral! Once I mount what I have! Thanks again! Slipknot rocks!

I had one but he sadly got too big for my tank. I will get another when I get a bigger tank

Are they tough to frag?

I only have a 20 gallon.

I spot feed reef roids to my acans/goni/scoly.
You shouldnt need to feed the hammer/torch/leather if the lights are where they should be. If I feed mine it causes them to poo a lot lol

I spot feed my torch, octo, acans, zoas, and shrooms. I've found that I mix more powder with less water and use a small eye drop. This gives me more of a paste which the LPS corals seem to enjoy more.

I agree

I use 3 ml of water to 4-5 (.5g) scoops of roids

I mix the reef roids in with my frozen and broadcast and spot feed all week with my regular feedings. I have been putting 1/4 teaspoon of the roids in with the mix.
