When do you feed your corals ?

[Madmak]

I feed my tank a heavily blended slurry of many frozen foods, cyclopeze, vitamins C and E, and SeaChem Fuel right before lights out and have my feed cycle set to leave the return and slimmer off for 30 minutes and the closed loop off for 15. Everything seems to open up or extend its feeding tentacles and get their share.

Cloudy as heck for a bit but it's dark.

Also great info, thanks

But, what's a slimmer ?
Can I find one for the wife, or is it some secret device ?

If she ever saw this, you would never hear from me again
8 feet under, or burned and fed to the plants !!!!!!

Honestly, for the record, my wife is in awesome shape, ex-gymnast, so I have to clarify it ...
I AM ONLY KIDDING HONEY

Just thought I'd keep this for future reference in case you have something that I want or NEED.

So, back to my questions ...

[Nano]

I have just been feeding my tank reef roids for the past few months, and dosing vitamin c, calcium and magnesium. nothin fancy, I just mix it into my top off water

I don't feed corals at all.

Why? What benefit do you see from this? How do the corals compare to not being fed?
