which coral food is better

[AdamR0331]

I have both Red Sea Ab+ Reef energy plus & Reef Roids by polyp labs which should I do using on my mainly lps & softies tank

20 gallon long

Reef Energy you Have to Feed Daily and Reef Roids is weekly but results wise what's best?

 

[MoshJosh]

six to one, half dozen to the other. . .

 

[Derrick0580]

I use both plus benereef. I also mix ab+ with either powdered foods and feed the day before water change day.

Reef roids are high in phosphate. Ive used ab+, but didnt see much benefit.
Fish poop is best, check your no3 and po4.
Or dose carbon and feed via bacteria.

Reef AB good as is roids. Both do promote phosphate and algae and cyano growth as well as some algae.
AB is more of an amino whereas Roids is planktonic coral food

I just crush normal fishfood pellets or flakes to dust, never heard a coral complaining it's for fish. Just don't show them the can.

I just watched one of my candy canes eat a flake the size of a half dollar

And if my vote counts for anything. I like reef ab
In my tanks I get too much problems from roids

what kind of problems?

 

[ryanjohn1]

algae blooms

 

[AdamR0331]

do you feed RedSea Ab+ daily like it says or would Bi-Daily be better Long term or just keep doing daily

 

[ryanjohn1]

Every other day is what I do. I barely do 4ml. They get plenty to eat from fish food to as well as the fishes poops.

Trick is to feed enough that everyone looks happy but not enough to throw nutrients threw the roof. I lean on less “coral” food is better.
