what are you feeding your corals?

[daniella3d]

It's not so expensive because the little pot of coralfrenzy and reefroid have lasted me for nearly a year and I still have half. It does not take much

I have noticed a lot of growth when I feed Chromaplex. Of all the food I give to my zoanthids, Chromaplex is the one I can't do without if I want my zoanthids to grow, and for the paly target feeding with cyclopeeze as well.

I had a frag of beautiful zoanthids with very long flashy orange tentacles in my nano and they were growing like weeds. After I was out of Chromaplex I did not buy more and after a white I saw my zoanthids slow down their growth and just stop growing totally. From huge colony of that orange zoa, I was left with only one polyp as they were not doing so well and were slowly in decline. I decided to move it into my 75 gallons in hope of saving it but to no avail..it was not mutiplying. Then I read an article on specialists growing zoanthids and they recommanded Chromaplex (wish I could find that site again!). I then remebered that when I was using it my zoa were growing well and I bought it again...What did I have to lose?

Now that single orange polyp have multiplied to about 50+ in a few months and I have sold a few frags of it already. Maybe it is a coincidence? dunno but heck..that's what hapened.

The Zeovit amino acid did a good difference in my SPS coloration.

Sounds promising, for me i did a 25% wc and then fed the tank for the first time yesterday, and my xenia that was doing poorly for the past little while is now looking a bit more perky today I'm not sure I'd it is the drag nutrients from the salt or the food I gave the tank but its looking better today then it has in almost 3 weeks

Thanks Myka... good read. It scares me to think my Zoas are starving, which I doubt is the case as they are growing. But I am certainly going to look into that Kent Marine Chroma Plex.

Could be but if I remember they were talking about zoanthids melting as well. Maybe it's the same site but they changed the web page so not sure.

I remember they were doing the aquaculture of ricordea as well and these are also doing ric so maybe that's it.
