Personally I wouldn't dose Reef Roids. I'm not a fan of foods that dose the water column like Reef Roids, Coral Frenzy, etc since the corals get so little of it, and the rest settles on the sandbed. That's asking for nutrient issues (like algae).

Anyway, my best recommendation would be to feed the corals that will eat Mysis (most LPS will). Feed them a couple times a week each, and not all on the same day (pollution). You can also break up the daylight photoperiod (actinics or blues are ok to leave on) by putting a 2 hour dark period in the middle. Like if your daylights are normally on for 6 hours, do 3 on, 2 off, 3 on.

Whenever you change to a new batch of carbon, your water will be polished at a fast rate. Meaning, it will be crystal clear. Add new lights to the mix, and you have yourself a recipe for coral bleaching. Now, what you have to do is turn the valve on your carbon media reactor down to half, and set your T5 lights to 2/3 of your regular light schedule. Your corals will come back in a week or two.
