Who Gives A Fish Forums

My Zoanthids aren't growing like they used to. I've been feeding Reef Roids but wanna switch it up. What's the best coral food y'all recommend for faster growth? Tank's a 40-gallon with T5 lighting, parameters are stable, 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 8 dKH.

I've had great results with Fauna Marin's Coral Dust. It's fine enough for LPS and SPS, and my Acans doubled in size over 3 months. Make sure your flow isn't too high when feeding, or it'll just blow away.

How often do you feed it? I'm dosing amino acids twice a week but scared of overfeeding.

Cut the aminos if you're gonna try Coral Dust. That stuff's packed with nutrients. I do 3x a week, tiny pinch, right after lights out. My Torches went nuts—like, 5 new heads in 2 months. Skimmer's gotta be on point though.

For SPS, Brightwell's Reef Snow is solid. It's got a mix of particle sizes, so it feeds everything from my Birdsnest to the Montis. Tank's a 75-gallon with dual Radions, and I feed every other day, 30 mins after lights on.

Y'all sleeping on frozen rotifers. My Duncan's tentacles stretch like crazy when I thaw a cube. Just gotta rinse it in tank water first—sketchy preservatives sometimes. Also, my Clowns steal it less than pellets.

Lol my Blenny thinks coral food is his personal buffet. Tried Reef Chili once and he went full pig mode. Now I spot-feed with a pipette like a chump. Anyone else's fish mess with their coral meals?

Same with my Firefish. Little dude's faster than my Acans. Started turning off the wave maker for 10 mins during feeding—cuts the theft by half.

For softies, I mix BRS Reef Chili and Phytofeast. My Ricordeas split every 6 weeks like clockwork. Tank's a 30-gallon cube with a Nero 3, and I feed 2x a week right before water changes.

Thanks for the recs! Gonna grab Coral Dust and Reef Snow to test. My skimmer's a Reef Octopus 110, so hopefully it can handle the load. Appreciate the help.
