![]() I have read just about every bit of hyperbole surrounding food additives and have tried my share as well... now I'd like to hear it from you.
What types of food/trace elements are you feeding to what types of corals? How much? How often? What time? What are your results? How do they impact your water quality/algal growth? Most people post how they deal with Ca+ and Alk, even magnesium and iodine... but this is a real grey area... Thanks in advance to those that answer. I was going to put this in a poll, but decided there were far too many variations. My own... I feed a couple of times a week with foods such as Phytoplex, Chromamax, Zooplex, and Microvert at various times sometimes day sometimes when the lights are out. I usually feed at half or less of recommended doses as I have lots of fish and a good bioload as it is. I skim heavily so water quality isn't an issue. I have noted feeding type of behaviour from almost all of my softies and LPS as well as some SPS, but couldn't tell you if it has contributed to their growth.
