When do you feed your corals ?

[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.

no i don't run socks.water splits at the drain-one side to an algae scrubber,and one below it-runs to the refugium with sand,live rock,and macro algae,bubble disperser,then to return.adding a phosban reactor today.the rotifers are 130-340 microns and the phyto is around the same size to a little bit bigger

I have mainly LPS, I usually get some TLF coral snow, and Coral Frenzy and Cyclopeeze, mix em up with some tank water, turn off circ pump but leave the mp10 on. Using turkey baster, I "target" the corals and then leave the circ off for at least an hour (mp10 is on the whole time tho).

Even when I didn't have fish, I don't feed corals. Frag tank, fishless, no feeding.

Hmm
I guess it won't hurt to only feed them once a week then

honestly, IMO, feeding corals is not necessary, and contributes to water pollution in the tank. I've got a large frogspawn that has doubled in size and I've never fed it.
As for SPS, I think feeding is a complete waste of time and wouldn't bother. I tried feeding mine years ago, found they tended to brown out more, and I got nothing positive out it.

+1. I find that fish poop is already enough. I have a bubble coral that had almost discintegrated and two yrs later is a size of a softball and I have never fed it.
