SPS Food? - Your Best choice?

CoralFragZ · Mar 26, 2012

This may be a redundant post but I cannot find the other one. I am in a SPS growth competition and need to get my three corals growing. I am running an Ultra Low nutrient System with Bio-Pellets and GFO. My corals started to pale on me so I added 8 Green Chromis and two tanks. Now my color is coming back.
If you had a choice what is your best SPS supplement? I use an Neptune APEX and Feed mode so I donâ€™t have to worry about food lost in the filter.

Rods foods
Oyster Feast
Roti Feast
Cyclops EZE
Coral Frenzy
DIY foods
Any other Effective

I am looking for a repeatable regimen.
Thanks

I actually feed my corals rotifers. I have to do daily maintenance on my rotifer culture, so the rotifers I pull every night go right into the tank. Corals seem to enjoy it. Has increased growth as well.

I use Amino Acids, Coral Frenzy, & freshly hatched BBS in my ULNS.

Just started reef roids. Looks promising so far. Starting at twice a week and 1/8th teaspoon per dose.

Oyster feast, zooplankton and golden pearl with a little amino acids a couple times a week

I dose Aminos every other day with oyster feast every 3 days.

Poop and other metabolites from well-fed fish. Literally. I'm serious.

Stronger measures may be called for if you have a specific target in mind (weakened coral, one you're trying to promote even-faster growth, odd circumstance, etc) but that should be the exception.

There was a study done with various foods. Reef Roids, and Reef Chilli came out on top. (for porcilipora, and monitpora no test on acropora)

Scientific research into coral farming yields new insight into the effect of flow, food and light

I feed oyster feast, reef roids (just started), and whatever my fish don't get.

Reef pearls + KZ amino acid 2x /week

KZ Coral Vitalizer, Pohls Extra, KZ Reef Snow....very concentrated so it doesn't take much...then I treat them to Oyster Feast, Cyclopeez, or Coral Frenzy a time or two a week. All my corals are growing like crazy mad, especially the SPS.

After years of research i've found tang poop works the best.

dsmhero · Apr 11, 2012

I feed rods food with a pinch more cyclopeze and a few drops of Arctic Pods to my fish.

Whatever is left in the water column along with fish poop seems to work.

I hear good things about Reef Cleaner's Filter Feeder Formula...

I have used reef roids for about a year and I really like it. It's easy to use and my sps seems to really like it. Great PE when I feed it.

+1 on this

Reefcleaners stuff is very similar to reefchili

Is it just me or does the results of this study show that the super fine, ground up, powdery food like coral frenzy works better than really expensive stuff like Oysterfeast? I feed ReefPearls.
