whats some good coral food?

Atmos · 07-03-2009, 09:23 PM

I want to start feeding my corals some food, they look healthy since they get plenty of light but i want to make them grow bigger/faster... anyone know of some food to feed them? (polyps, zoanthids, some hard and some softies)

I use coral freenzy....have had great success with it. I do not feed the recommended amount...I do a little less. But I turn everything off and target feed all corals. I have used it for several months now and have noticed a dramatic increase in the growth of my corals!

For lps, like hammer corals and frogspawn, they can be target fed but what do is, I have a bottle of oayster eggs. and just squiz some by my power head so it spreads through the tank.

I like Rod's Food and normal dosing, everything will grow good with good consistant peramiters and lighting!

I use Coral Frenzy also. I feed a bit less than the recommended and I just dump it in near a power head.

It seemes to be working well. Tough to tell as I've only used it for a month ish.

But seriously I might try coral frenzy. Need some food myself. Somethings are growing a decent clip and some of my corals hardly grow at all ... known slow growers I have are Pink Lemonade and ORA oregon blue tort.
Feeding my candy canes, goniopora cyclops.

The guy that got me back into reefs has been using reef roids. His corals look amazing and since he started using it they have grown considerably. I just added my first few corals so I havent goten any yet but I will.

For those you want a small particulate feed, like oyster eggs or rotifers.
