feeding corals

[paintball7]

Hey everyone well i was thinking today.........do i feed my coral enough or too much? and am i feeing thme the right things?

Well this is what im doing......

for my mushrooms, zoanthids, GSP, leathers, frogspawn, flower pot, and open brain i feed them ZoPLan (zooplankton)

as for my SPS....... Birds nest, green slimmer, montipora, and my acro that seems to be maybe a acropora secale or nasuta (not raelly sure) i just put liquid reactor in there for them

i do this about every other day

So am i feeding not enough to much or not the right things ??????

Well as fare as i know the flower pot coral is very hard to take care of and i think i have read that they dont eat zooplankton. But i could be wrong dont take my word on it. Im new to this so i wouldnt go off of what i say to much lol. But i do have a question for you on your flower pot coral. Is it Goniopora or Alveopora. Im suppose to be getting a Alveopora tomarrow. How long have you had it and do you think its hard to care for?

you dont need to feed the zooathids, and leather. the mushroom, frog spawn, and open will eat some meat like cyclopids, my torch, and open brain will eat mystis shrimp. but they dont need much. i feed my sps' rhodia, cause cyclopids are to big for the mouth of my acaporia. the real question is how much are you feeding everyday? i think you can reduce it to every other day. i could be wrong, but this is what works for my babies, and this is what the LFS told me to feed

i do feed them every other day, i feed them wha the bottle tells me for how many gallons my tank is FOR INSTANCE ( spelling) my liquid reactor says 2 caps full for 75 gallons so.....thats what i pour in

Godbert......does that work my friend says he does that, but i didnt think they would take it

and if you feed them that wouldnt u only have to feed them like twice a week since krills pretty big????

Just want to join in on this because i just got my first corals in the tank. a little branching frogspawn, and some green star polyps. I dont have any food for them. I wasent sure what I was supposed to be feeding them! For some reason i thought they would just filter little bits of food that i couldnt see floating in the tank.

What do i do!!

I feed zooplankton about once a week- just a capful. But I also use Rod's Food. It feeds both your fish and corals! I use it about everyother or every 2days. All of my corals are extremely happy. Especially my goniopora- the tentacles on it are about 2-3 inches long! It is doing awesome!!! My brain coral is also getting so big it's touching my glass now. I want to mover him but he seems so happy I am afraid to.

I'm sorry i dont feed zooplankton but phytoplankton- dont know if there is a difference
