Feeding corals

[Jarrett]

I would say i have a mixed reef but predominately SPS, its a 75 gallon reef with a swc 150 bmk protein skimmer, 20 gallon sump, GFO 24/7, weekly 15 gallon water changes, feed every other day. all my levels are great and stable mag 1350 alk 8.4 cal 420, my sps are doing really good but my lps do not look as good as they use to. i am wondering if my system is to clean for them. should i start feeding them every time i feed the system. i do have some cyclopeeze would that be good to spray a little bit on them maybe once or twice a week. should i also feed the sps corals? or is the light (6 bulb tek light) and clean water good enough to keep them happy. thanks for any input guys.

Nitrates and phosphates are 0 as well.

Sounds likepossible...LPs like dirty water

Yeah do once a week and see how it doing...then add 2x a week.

I feed mine every 2 days SPS , lps and fish foods

yea i wouldn't classify mine as being dirty so i think thats the case, i will feed them tomorrow cyclopeeze will do just fine for my lps? i know i was told that these would be to big for sps i am assuming.

It could be fine..

I have frozen cyclopeezee.

I usually target feeding acans, dendros they like meat and filter food for zoa.

I feed rods orignal food my tank its best. First i thaw it w/ saltwater then dump direct into mp10 and everything went nuts haha

i had the same issue i started feed all my lps once and week and now they are looking great. You can feed them cyclopeezee myses shrimp or rods food. I use the turkey baster to shoot the food right into the mouths.
