sps food

[bignose]

I am going to buy coral food soon so I'm wondering what you feed your tank.

I have a sps tank so if you also have one let me know how you feed. I am currently using Reef Roids, I turn off my return valves, put the food in the display wait a half hour and then open the return valves.

I feed my SPS AI LED lighting and the whatever they pick out of the water column. Calcium, Alk and Mag dosing.
As for my sea fan, I spot feed him reef roids.

I feed fish poop, photons and Amino Acids

IMO, adding food for SPS does nothing but pollute the water, making colors a bit less vibrant. I feel they get enough from the light and the fish, I add nothing else (I do add Zeo additives, but not really a food)

With the zeo additives are you running full zeo? I'm trying to color my sps up.

Yes, kinda. I forget a lot, so I often don't agitate the rocks or dose the drops. Still get great results

A good food for coloring them up is Zeovit amino acid and Zeovit sponge power. Reef roid and Coral Frenzy are also very good food along with the Fauna Marin food.

Light is enough for corals to survive but if you want insane growth and great colors, then the food really help.

I would wait one hour instead of 30 minutes, especially if you put amino acid.
