what do you feed your reef? what combonations? And also what addetives do you add to make your reef pop with joy.
Oh and if anyone knows how to get sun coral to open up please let me know how.

Sun coral = low light, polyps more likely to come out at night. I feed the fish PE Mysis and frozen brine. Additives are: B-Ionic, equal parts of 1 and 2, 100% kalkwasser for top off, thats it!

PE mysis, brine shrimp w/ spirulina, cyclopeeze, DT's phyto

Plankton, mysis, bloodworms, brine, krill, ghost shrimp, and nori... I am trying out Aragmilk, it's a single dose that does calcium and ph.

My key is aggressive water changes. :)

I am currently feeding Brine shrimp cyclopeeze and trying reefroids.

where did you get the reefroids from ,anthony?

[SA-DSM]

I feed my sun coral frozen brine. I have them under 250w metal halide and they will come out. I have had them like that since March and have had no bleaching affect on the sun coral at all. You have to train them to come out in full light.

sun corals 101...lol
Put them in a bowl with tank water, put lots of food in and stir. Do this every night until you get a feeding response. It may take a few days/weeks. After they come out with regularity they should come out in your tank when they smell food in the water.

2-part solution daily; iodine, strontium, and trace elements bimonthly; one or two of the following every other day or so, fw zooplankton, brine shrimp, mysis, and cyclopeeze; flake and pellets every day to fish.

I get my "roids" from Aquatech in Austin. I have seen a big improvement in my zoas and paly's since using it and the color on my sps look better.

same here MissT, other than that I also feed sea weed selects, add Purple Up every other day, and Kent Marine coral Vite and essential elements every weekend.

I feed frozen brine, flake. I use Bionics part a and b with a cap full of Tech M every Friday.

i have a calcium reactor and kalk reactor for calcium, alkalinity and mg (pellets in calc. reactor), so i add no chemicals.

daily: fish get nori, formula 1, mysis, bloodworms and krill

weekly: corals get home made frozen food (got it from todd, but will make my own when it is gone) following Bleu method or borneman's recipe.
