How often do you feed your SPS?

[Delphinus]

Ditto. I've tried feeding and not feeding, no real difference. You might notice more polyp extension when you feed if you feed, but I never noticed a difference in terms of growth or colour. I did notice a difference with my tank nutrient levels though. Very easy to overdo it!

[StirCrazy]

I do the same as Brad but maybe less.

Maybe the non-positive results has something to do with the type/size of food. I too would like to start feeding sps but don't know what to go with as there are shelves full of things to choose from. IMO, Cyclopees was a waste of money for sps, this type/size of food is too large. What are some other suggestions.

Well there's the kent phytomax, chromamax, and zoomax of course...

Reefroids too

Reefroid is on the way, we'll see how that goes. Chromamax seems very interesting, very concentrated which is good. Have you tried it?

I haven't tried it although may in the future if I can find it. It is my understanding that reefroids is not a suitable food for SPS - IIRC it was designed for LPS and softies - maybe check their web site. I think it is the reef fresh that is meant for SPS and I have tried that but did not really give it an honest try as I ran into trouble with heat in my tank at the same time that my skimmer crapped out on me. Heat and no skimmer are not recommended for SPS

The one product that I have seen a positive response both in terms of polyp extenstion and colour is Pohl coral vitalizer. No real difference in growth and it didn't protect them from the heat wave this summer where just about every SPS coral I had croaked.
