supplementation for softies only tank

What kind of salt are you using? I know u said some salt locally but what is it? Does it have adequate calcium and mg n all that jazz?

 

what about feeding? iv never fed my corals still they grew..

 

all it says that the it has calcium and alk. nothing else is written.. i have an unused bottle of purpleup which has everything like mag, iodine, stront, trace, etc...

 

Really? If I was you I'd get a different salt. If they say it's in their but don't show numbers backing their claim it's probably not good. N don't dose that crap dude, no need for just zoas n softies, proper salt with routine wc will be fine. Specially if u aren't testing for those things your asking for trouble.

 

what about feeding?

 

If your lighting is good you do not need to feed most soft hermatypic corals.
LPS do benefit from supplemental target feedings when feeding tentacles are out. Most minced meaty sea foods and quality pellets work fine.
Ahermatypic/NPS do need extensive on going feedings as they do not the dinoflagellates/zooxanthellea that provide nutrition from photosynthesis.

 

has anyone used AQUAPHARM Seaplankton? whats the best for supplemental feeding for softies? im planning to buy cyclopeese flakes for fishes.

 

You will not need to target-feed soft corals. While they do benefit from small amounts of dissolved organics, feeding fish in the same tank will provide more than enough.

 

for feeding, might be easier to say if we know what type you have. Like coraline said, certain ones do need feedings. Also what type of food do you feed? Common to say leathers do not need to be fed, but that is not fully true. Nephtia needs phyto. Yellow polyps do best with feedings of small meaty food occasionally

You mentioned cyclop flakes. I am not familar wtiht the flakes, I use the frozen bar or now they have come out with small frozen cubes of it that i like. I would think it would be smaller particles than the flakes and easier for some of the smaller polys to get

 

you do get powdered cyclop too. but im afraid that the uneated will be on the ground and my cause a nitrate spike. what about reef snow or any bottled branded phytho? and what about zooplank.?
