Feeding your SPS corals?

[carlos_fb]

What do you use to feed your SPS corals?

[aiko670]

Rod's Food and fish poop...

[tgunn]

Frozen cyclopeeze and the all popular fish poo. :) It's funny, my SPS were not doing so well for the longest time. Now that I've got more fish they're starting to improve. Not enough fish poo! :)

i havent feed anthing including fish in 2 1/2 years everthing is growing fast and fish are fat. i do this cause i have no skimmer but my sps are as bright as they have ever been

[chica83]

has anyone tried coral frenzy on their sps?

i think i wanna give it a good try

[acrylic_300]

I went 3 months without feeding my fish once...the fish stayed fat and the hair algae kept on growing.

Then I marked the lid on the fish food and came home to find the lid had moved. My girlfriend swore she didn't know how the lid got moved .:lol:

After her departure two fish died of starvation before I realized just HOW MUCH she had been feeding them.

I feed coral frenzy once a week and flakes two times per week once every 2 weeks mysis.
I find the coral frenzy great so far but turn off your return when feeding or most of it will end up in your micron bag.

I let mine feed naturaly from the zooplankton being produced by the live sand bed and fuge.

I'm feeding Fauna Marin UltraMin S, excellent product in a small bottle! and the free stuff, fish poop.

[lechee12]

has anybody tried feeding live rotifers? was considering starting a culture

[Canarygirl]

I have fed live rotifers. corals seem to love it

[roberts722]

another one of these threads??

try www.rods-reef.com

this stuff is the very best food on the market. i feed my tank nothing else. all fish and all corals (sps too) love it.

I feed a combo of Rod's food, cyclopeeze, oyster eggs and frozen rotifer cubes. I only have 3 fish in my system and when I started a more aggressive feeding schedule my acros have responded with increased growth and much better coloration.

[roberts722]

mach5, why do you supplement with cyclopeeze, oyster eggs and rotifer cubes?

all of those ingredients are in rods food already.

just curious.

[CamBarr]

are you feeding daily??? It seems like the SPS respond better to higher Nutrients in the water. So much for the BB theory???

[MACH5]

Roberts722: Yes you're right all those ingredients are present on Rod's food. The question is that I don't know how much of each is really in the food. That's why I still think it may be neccessary to supplement with foods that are targeted to SPS and not necessarily fish.
CamBarr: I don't feed corals every day, although I do feed the fish once daily. Usually mysis & blood worms. I don't think that corals like higher nutrient levels. What I believe is that they benefit from a large infusion of food that gets removed via skimmer quickly so that you don't get any kind of nutrient build up in the water.

[CamBarr]

So what are they feeding on??? fish waste like the actual particulate matter or i have heard nitrogen which comes form nitrites and nitrates correct???
