Feed Filter Feeders/SPS
« on: September 06, 2012, 13:17:40 »
What does everyone feed their filter feeders and SPS?

A buddy suggested Oyster Feast... Anyone use this? Any good? other suggestions?

Reef Chili?

A lot of the SPS people say if you have enough fish that fish poo is all they need. Plus the normal feelings of good quality food for the fish. I'm gettig ready to set up my 180 and that's what I'll be going.

Yeah normally I melt sps, but I recently tried them again, and they seem to be doing well for a change, but I'd like to see what kind of growth I can get out of them, So I am ramping up some of my dailies(including food). Right now I don't feed anything to them, and they are staying healthy in appearance and slight growth, but I'd assume once I ramp up dosing I will prolly need to ramp up food, as my bio load is light for fish.


I think I will buy some of this Reef chili, I have heard good things before.

The foods are great for the softies and lps.  I'm not sure they do anything for the SPS.

I don't feed anything in my tank ( For SPS only) . In the past I have tried different things and can't really say if it helped. I know that it did increase my bioload and seemed to have the biggest impact on my nitrates. Just my opinion. I do however spot feed some of my LPS.

I have always fed my LPS mysis and chunkier food, aside from like torch,frog,hammer as I always feed them Cyclopeeze.


I thought the same thing Steve, right now I am undetectable on trates, but them rising from excess food on this nano is a main concern of mine.

I feed reef chili & cyclopeez. I alternate between the 2. I don't do it just for sps. But everything in my tank seens to grow very good. Including my clams & feather dusters.
