I use Reef Roids and Cyclopeeze. I turn off the return pump so everything doesn't go into the overflow, turn off my powerheads, then target the coral. After about 10 minutes I turn on the powerheads but not the return pump so the leftovers can circulate a bit. After another 10 minutes everything is turned on so my filter sock can catch the floating food. No problems thus far and my 10" brain coral will keep its feeding tentacles out the whole time.

Thanks all...I will stick with my Reef Roid dosage and use the Cyclop-eeze as a treat every now and then. That's for all the info, really appreciate it.

Hmmm, So I've been wasting Coral Frenzy. I put some in a cup of tank water, mix, and pour into tank.... Havn't fed in a while tho, but I'll try letting it soak for a while, then baste. Found basting to be useless if just mixed tho.

Even when just floating in the tank water (without direct feeding) alot of corals will still respond to the food. When I used to simply blast in into the water (with only powerheads on) I had tons of polyp extension and really good growth. Whenever not using these foods growth decreased. I never bothered target feeding with this stuff. Although im sure it would work better, I found it worked great even without targetting; as long as the skimmer is off and no overflows on it worked fine for me. Both with reef roids and cyclops.

Cheers,

Chris
