Confused on Foods

Hey Everybody,

I was wondering what products do you use to feed your corals, clams, filter feeders, and everything in between? I ask this because I'm a little confused between Kent Marine Micro-Vert for fine filter feeders, Kent PhytoPlex Phytoplankton, and Kent ZooPlex.

Which is the best? Do I need all 3 for success?

Thanks much!

 

fish i feed spectrum A, corals eat cyclops and spectrum A, anemone (i havent fed yet) silver sides and Kent micro-vert.

what are you trying to feed? micro-vert works fine for me. sponges love it.

 

I feed Kent micro-vert now and I'm just trying to find/figure out the difference between these feeds and was wondering if I should change to a new product that does a better job as an all around food to feed corals, clams, inverts...etc. However, to my understanding all of these feeds listed from Kent would work great as a stand-alone (just choose one and use it), correct?


Thanks Monkey!

 

Most corals feed on zooplankton, clams and a few specific corals feed on phytoplankton. I have a 125g, 75g, and 45g and all I feed is cycopeze and DT's oyster eggs2x a week, and my corals are doing great. Unless you have a clam, I would only feed zooplankton so you don't pollute your tank.

 

If you have a clam, any filer feeder, some softies and any zooplankton/infuana, feeding phytoplankton is a recommended method for keeping them healthy and alive.

 

Several ounces of Phytoplanktons and I stir the sump a few times a night via a timed power heard and at night .. Marine snow
