Who feeds their SPS?
I'm just wondering how many people feed their SPS on a regular basis, Golden Pearls, DT's.... Etc
I'm wondering if it's worth it? will it effect colors/grow rates? |
I feed ESV and blend it in tank water for 30 seconds. Don't notice a diffrence. just feed it for my clams and I guess my corals.
|
I feed frozen cyclop-eeze and GP. I see my acros eating it like crazy, so it must be good. They eat tons in the wild, so why not feed them in captivity? I feed once or twice a week. Many people don't feed at all, so who knows which is best. :rolleyes:

I stopped feeding the coral as I had the opposite of Brad's experience.. I never see them eat anything and all I got was algae blooms.. couldn't tell the difference in the corals.

As long as your nutrient output is greater than your input it's gotta benifit feeding our corals. Live foods like rotifers and baby brine shrimp are ideal for sps but the new cyclop-eeze seems to work well for me too. I haven't picked up any frozen cyclop-eeze but I would imagine it is a little bit better. Brad, have you tried both types? Any difference?

The frozen seems to get captured more than the dried, but you need to be cautious of the extra food that doesn't get caught. I don't feed a lot, so it isn't a large input, but it's still input. Make sure you have good export and regular water changes to compensate. |
Ok. I may have to pick some of that up. I really want to try it out.
|
Are you guys seeing increased growth rates or better colour or anything empirical from feeding your corals?

Crap, really? Maybe we can get a slab for the shop and do the same as Safari.
