Feeding Acropora Coral ?

[Shaemus]

i was wondering if people feed their Acropora Coral, For example with MarineSnow and should you turn off your skimmer when doing so. Thanks

Sincerely,

Shaemus,

I think the minority of SPS keepers feed their corals. Those that do use plankton cultures like Roti-Feast or small particulate foods like Golden Pearls. Turning off the skimmer for a while may increase the time the food is in the water, but I don't think many people bother.

I personally don't feed my SPS at all. With plenty of light and Ca, these things tend to grow like weeds without supplemental additives.

Ditto what Len said.
