    I have heard of people feeding there corals, What would you feed your coral? What corals are feedable?

    They can all eat but most live off of the light. You could use Marine Snow for filter feeder's or some other suitable type of filterfeeder food. Snow is not that great but it gets them by.

    It depends on the coral species that you want to feed all require different types and size particles I have a powder compound I use for my sps corals that I came up with for a coral farm system I was managing Its not for sale but there is a great all around general food called Coral Frenzy works great on about any community reef tank to keep all species healthy and happy .. But disregard the feeding instructions and use 1/2 as much 1/2 as often as directed .. I was asked to try it out last yr I did and I found it to be a very good product and the little bottle of powder goes along ways and corals love it , I sent some down to my son who also keeps many LPS and softs along with the Sps and he liked as well the friend that owns a LFS store there he is starting to stock it now for retail sale .

    Also you may want to have a large power head in the sump if you employ a sump to come on several times a night to stir up the waste particles in their to allow them to get back into the tank during the nigh time to also fed the corals night times is their main feeding times . Its simple free marine snow laying on the sumps bottoms and in the corners i
