What Coral Food To Use?

I'll definitely consider Rod's Coral Food. I was thinking of using the cyclop eeze only because it's the only one I can source locally. Everything else, I'd have to import.

 

siddique I like using cyclopeeze as my fish eat it, and my corals seem to expand and get brighter ( maybe my perception?) when I add this to the tank

word of caution on liquid supplements - always use the base dosing amounts
if it says 1 - 3 drops per gallon, go with 1 drop only to start with (after all selling 3 x as many bottles in any given period is not a bad idea business wise)

been using Kent products recently , Microvert, Chromaplex and Accel - ( the later are colour and growth enhancers)

I will say that I am experiencing some decent colouration and expansion of my softies since using these 3 products

I will also say, my sand bed is not as clean as it used to be, and I am getting specs of green on my rock work now ( been using 3 x per week since September varying the one I use on each of the 3 occasions)

I also doubled up on my Purigen media, and change my Aquamedic elimi phos for the Tropic marin version GFO in order to keep on top of the additional nutrients that using these products was going to lead to

many people dont bother , Siddique , so IMHO you cant add to little, but you could easily over do it and end up with parameter issues and algae plagues as a result

Thanks for the insight Steve.

I went out and got some cyclop eeze today. Along with some new corals;D
How do you feed the cyclopeeze? do you just place it in the water as if you were feeding the fish? Or do you target feed the corals with a syringe? Also how often do you feed cyclop?

I also use Kent Microvert and Chromaplex. Can't get the Accel anywhere. I use these once per week.

Thanks

 

welcome siddique

with the cyclopeeze all I do is add a small pinch to a glass of tank water swirl it around a bit and then pour it into the path of my K Clone wave maker so it gets well distributed

the fish go into frenzy mode, darting here there and everywhere trying to capture as much as possible, but as these are very small a small pinch (do you know snuff? as about that much is what I use each time ) goes a long way IME

Cool, thanks Steve.
