What is your schedule for that and are they target fed? Or just broadcast fed?

 

[noahreefer]

I feed them once every week or so. And yes I target feed them.

Depends on the type. My ricordia Florida’s and rhodactis eat mysis.

Nice. Yea mainly reef roids for yours. Target fed once every other week. Work up to once a week if you think they can take it.

So you mix it up into a thick consistency? And do you also feed mysis additionally? What about brine shrimp?

I'm the crazy one I do the blender and brine till a milk. Let float over in a gassly fog over them.

No just a very small amount. 1/10th of a teaspoon in 50ml of tank water. Mixed up good. Then target fed with a turkey baster or other feeding tools.
Mysis is great for your fish and everything. My ric’s catch some almost daily during feeding. You can target feed that to if you want just with tongs or some tool like that.
Brine shrimp has next to no nutritional value for anything in your tank. It’s like candy with humans, tastes good but doesn’t help us. I don’t feed any brine shrimp at all.

Ah so just a mist type of feed

Yea. It will stick to them and they should close up and eat the particles that stick to them.
If you use to much it can cause really bad cyano issues quickly. Also elevated phosphates without effecting nitrates which can throw things off to.

And this will work for all mushroom types?

I don’t have first hand experience with bounces. But it should be fine for all types.
