What are U feeding your SPS's?

[McNasty]

I started feeding reef-roids and have noticed a huge difference from not feeding, my corals were healthy and bright before in two weeks since i started reef-roids the colors are brighter and the corals in general seem even healther .

I have used cyclopeze to feed my smaller fish, clown ect love it but never noticed any feeding reponse from corals like i do with roids.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't there been controlled experiments AND research to back up the importance of feeding corals? I'm pretty sure there have been.

Only ones by coral food manufacturers Most seam to use selective species for the test to inorder to get the results they want.

I find this discussion quite interesting so I was hoping to see something on the link attached to your signature but when I click it a window pops up that doesn't open. I would love to see some pictures of your sps and if you have any that show the growth rates it would be a nice touch.

I'm gonna whip out the Coral magazine when I get a chance (when I remember to at work) and pull out the girl's name. She did a lot of research on phytoplankton and corals though. Hell, if it merits it, I'll pull some borderline copyright infringement and patch together a quick knockoff edit of the article.

I feed my SPS and LPS liquid life coral food and have noticed brighter colors and better extension of polyps. Feeding makes a big difference in my tank since my lighting is not up to par. The only problem I run in to is the alge bloom I get when I feed liquid life.

I look at feeding with a very simple mind. If the corals don’t need it then why do they eat it? The nutrients must be doing some thing! Just like when I walk down the street I can’t tell the difference if that person is taking Omega 3 or not but for that person whom is taking Omega 3 they might be feeling better inside. Some times positive effects are not always visible to the eye.
