new too this
 

i am very new to this hobby but i just feed my clowns and my gobbey mysis and my corals amenio acids. everything is happy and full of colour. i have a friend that uses the garlic with his mysis and the fish love it.

I don't understand why people waste their money feeding corals yet target feeding them. Waste of money IMO. Fish poop is good enough.

I feed my fish a mixture of flake and pellet food every day and when I remember to do it I will dump half a cube of defrosted shrimp/phytoplankton or a mixture of both.

As to feeding coral I have never fed or target fed my coral and they all grow like crazy.

Agreed. I think I've target fed my frogspawn twice to show someone that they actually can eat meat, but other than that, fish poop is the only thing on the menu :)

Crazy you say? Let's see some pics

Agree with you Brad, I feed both tanks a variety of foods, pellets, frozen Mysis, cyclopees, garlic enhanced Omega One flake food and of course Nori usually once a day. I have coral foods as well, but don't notice much difference in their appearance using it or not. Heck some days I forget to feed at all. To me that's more like life in the real ocean and keeps the fish hunting for their food and not fussy eaters.

for those of u that dont feed corals.. do u have a high nutrient system? Are shrimp pellets good for LPS? the guy at the LFS was trying to sell me the LPS pellets and they were 6x the price so i just bought the shrimp pellets... my plate and scoly seems to eat it but my hammer and frogspawn spits it out.

No, I have a very low nutrient system, mostly SPS, but the LPS I have grow like crazy. All they really need is light.
