Reef Roids vs Cyclop-eeze

Imo, it would be effective at polluting the tank and that's about it. There would be very little that makes it to the corals. I suppose you would be feeding the filter feeders in the tank like micro dusters, spirorbid worms, etc so it could have some effectiveness.

I mix Coral Frenzy with water and turkey baster it on coral as well.
I found if you put a spoonfull in the tank it floats straight down the overflows.
I cheat and stick a DRY baster in the container and suck up some CF then I suck up some water. Shake and apply.

I use Reef Roids and Cyclopeeze. I turn off the return pump so everything doesn't go into the overflow, turn off my powerheads, then target the coral. After about 10 minutes I turn on the powerheads but not the return pump so the leftovers can circulate a bit. After another 10 minutes everything is turned on so my filter sock can catch the floating food. No problems thus far and my 10" brain coral will keep its feeding tentacles out the whole time.

Thanks all...I will stick with my Reef Roid dosage and use the Cyclop-eeze as a treat every now and then. That's for all the info, really appreciate it.

Hmmm, So I've been wasting Coral Frenzy. I put some in a cup of tank water, mix, and pour into tank.... Havn't fed in a while tho, but I'll try letting it soak for a while, then baste. Found basting to be useless if just mixed tho.

Even when just floating in the tank water (without direct feeding) alot of corals will still respond to the food. When I used to simply blast in into the water (with only powerheads on) I had tons of polyp extension and really good growth. Whenever not using these foods growth decreased. I never bothered target feeding with this stuff. Although im sure it would work better, I found it worked great even without targetting; as long as the skimmer is off and no overflows on it worked fine for me. Both with reef roids and cyclops.
