SPS--how often do you feed?

[ColaAddict]

I just have a question about SPS's. How often should I be dosing my tank with phyto. I use Marine Snow and usually feed once a week. I don't have much SPS right now, a few frags, but I'm thinking of trying to add more. Should I be dosing the tank more often than once a week? How often do you guys feed your SPS's? Oh yeah, and what do you think is the best food for them?

I have never feed my SPS anything but light.

 

[EyeReef]

I do not feed my sps directly. I feed them indirectly by feeding my fish a lot and their poop feeds the sps

So I'm wasting my money on this Marine Snow stuff, huh?

 

[Stonefish13]

Not necessarily. Do you have any filter feeders? Coco worms, feather dusters, sea squirts? Marine snow feeds any filter feeder you have.

Marine Snow is a waste of money for feeding anything. One of the biggest rip off products ever introduced to the public.

As far as feeding my SPS, only light and whatever is left over from feeding the fish.

 

[ColaAddict]

Hmm... but Jason is right, I do have some Christmas Tree worms and some of my rocks are covered in what looks like mini feather dusters.

 

[Stonefish13]

I'm not saying I'd recommend it but as long as you have it you might as well use it. But from now on I'd stick with phyto.

Another good food to feed the tank is cyclopeeze...it's suitable for anything in the tank.

just feed rods food to your fish every few days. Marine snow is crap don't waste your money.

 

[lunacris]

light and rods food every third day thats all i doo so far frags are doing well

 

[jcarlilesiu]

Wow... people get really violent about the marine snow.

I had some raw shrimp in my freezer that I put in a blender with some clean saltwater. I processed it until it was all small pieces. I target feed that to my corals and the leftovers are eaten by the fish.

I feed mine SPS with cyclop-eeze twice a week about an hour after lights go out.Also dose Coral-Amino by Brightwell every day (10 drops).

+1! When I found out what was really in it I threw it in the trash.
