No, it is not necessary to feed them as heavily.

Just start with a small amount of food to see if your corals like it.
Then just feed them as much or as little as they are able to eat.

I only feed my acans that much food, because they actually eat it.

JMes,

Thanks for the info. I too have a couple followup questions following the video..

1) How often are you feeding your Acan's like that? It does seem like a heavy feeding, is that a typical feeding or was it more for illustration? If that's typical, is that a weekly sort of thing or is it more frequently? (Edit: nm, I see you answered this in the time I was posting this..)

2) WHERE did you get that fantastic pipette thing? Can you post a picture of the whole thing?

3) Fantastic collection of Acans ... wow.

Paddyob,
I have used Acan Plus on all sorts of soft corals like Ricordea Yumas, Mushrooms, Palys and Zoas.When feeding your corals observe them carefully. Some corals respond better than others, also some eat faster and more than others. I had this with the zoas. Each colony was different. I also had this with my acans. I feed them all different amounts according to how they eat and respond to the food.

Tony,
Yes, the video was more for demonstration. I don't feed that heavily most of the time. Once to twice a week is plenty, unless your coral is sick. I would recommend every 2-3 days.
I got those droppers from Walmart. They come in a pack of 2.

I may have to give it a try. I saw it at RED CORAL Edmonton but passed on it as the label specifies Acans and LPS.

My Reef Roids are almost gone so I will give it a try.


Thanks!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

does this food need to be mixed or does it come in liquid form?
how much does it cost and what size is the container, ie how many feeds do you get like the one in the vid. out of one package?
