I am also trying out Aqua Connect's Energy Elements in the near future, you can PM me for more details.

thanks catherine...

i have phytoplankton, reef roid and coral frenzy...but not sure how much and often I should feed the corals. I think I have enough flow and sufficient light

When I used Reefroids earlier this summer I went along with the package instructions, but once I started adding more corals, I increased the dosage. I really didn't see much change in my corals from the Reefroids, but my fish sure did love it.

I feed once a day. I mostly feed a combination of Ocean Nutrition mini pellets one and two. I use about a pinch and a half and I sprinkle them in very slowly to ensure they are eaten before they hit the bottom. I will use flakes or a mix of mysis, shrimp and blood worms once a week. I do feed a mini spoon of cyclopeze and reef roids about once a week for the filter feeders. I spot feed my anemones every couple of days as well. I feel my tanks are very well established and the fish, crabs and shrimp must work at finding their own dinner. Anyone who has seen my tanks will know that my fish are anything but starving. I feel that this is because the ON pellets are a complete meal and by mixing the formula one and two you give the fish a total variety.

I usually feed twice a day, some flakes in the morning and a frozen something at night, cyclopeeze, bloodworms or formula 2.

Once a day - NLS small fish formula or flake. I, too, have been using reef roids but have not noticed any difference in the corals. Once I run out I will not be buying anymore. The fish do seem to enjoy it, but they get enough NLS. I feed frozen foods in place of the NLS about once every two weeks. My fish actually seem to prefer NLS to frozen food.

I feed pallets about three times a week. A Half a sheet of Nori once a week.

[SeaHorse_Fanatic]

Yeah, I find my fish love the NLS pellets too.

1/2 sheet NORI every day - primarily for the Naso Tang, who seems to be the only hard-core vegan in the tank.

Once daily feeding of Ocean Nutrition mini pellets (3 tsps)

Once daily feeding of a chopped mix of: a clam, a shrimp, and some Octopus,Squid or fish. (That seafood mix that you can buy at T&T)

In terms of volume, it might be equivalent to maybe 6 frozen food cubes per day. The blue throat triggers can really eat!
