I am not a big fan of Reef Roids I used it for like 2 weeks and saw a lot of my numbers spike especially phosphates. I switched to reef Energy AB and my tank is more stable and corals happy

I'm not sure I can add anything more than what's already been said. My advice is to use very little. It's easy to get carried away and overfeed. I have used Reef-Roids once a week and have done both; target and broadcast feed. I think most of my corals do ok with it, but I am now dealing with high phosphates and algae. I'm sure it is not 100 percent due to the Reef-Roids, but my careless feeding with it I am sure contributed, at least partly, to what I am dealing with now.
Go slow and less is more in this case. Good luck!

I find it interesting that the feeding recommendation is based off of tank volume vice amount of live stock. I guess it would be hard to quantify otherwise though. There's also no guidance on starting out with a lower amount, like other products have.
Is the prescribed amount based off of a fully stocked tank?
When people have issues with it, is it simply due to overfeeding by going off of the prescribed amount?
Into my tank (40 gallons) I broadcast feed daily using a 0.05ml scoop that came with a test kit. It's a mixed Reef with ~15 corals, frag size to slightly larger. No idea on this amount, other than I have not seen any issues with nutrients.
