I turn off the skimmer first, but some times I don't.
Then the powerheads in the display.
I target feed them.
The best foods I've found, as I've said before, were the dry foods, Tropic Marin Zoa/Acan food and the Coral Frenzy.

The foods I've tried before were:
Coralife Invert foods.
PhytoFeast, RotiFeast, TiggerPods, MacroFeast and OysterFeast (all from Ocean Nutrition).
PhytoGold-M and PhotoChrom (from Brightwell Aquatics).
I didn't notice really any changes with those foods and I've used the Coralife for years.
The others I've used for only a year or so.
I therefore no longer use them.
What I've found out is that if you feed just a bit more than should you'll pay a price with excess algae growth!!! And that is not only with the liquid invert foods, but with the dry foods as well. Well we all know about that since the early 80's anyway.

I still dose small amounts of CoralAmino (Brightwell Aquatics) and I think it does help the system somehow.

I was long time without feeding anything to the zoas and I can tell that they can grow too, probably because there is the organics in the water, and of course the good light, but when I target fed them it was different.
