TM Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I would be interested to find out what all you guys feed to your fish and corals???? Do you buy your food from stores or make your own? Has anyone had any success feeding coral with cyclop-ez (i think thats it)? Do you enrich your food with vitamins etc Does anyone feed their tanks rotifers???? Any thoughts TM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetskisteve Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 HI TM, I use a mixture of high qual dried food,frozen mysis & brine shrimp which i soak in Abidec kids vitamins, I recently started using Cyclops ez and a planktonic food that i cant remember the name(marine snow?) Havent had any luck sourcing rotifers if i could i would have ago at breeding my clowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I feed fish a bit of every thing, whitebait,mussels, nori,\ i soak the food in a galick mixture for a few hours before feeding. For the coral food i have used salifert coral food. Best thing so far has been the reef solution by ecosystem. been using it for 3 weeks and thus far it is awesome. my acropora polpys are out all the time, my xenia has gone nuts, never used too. great for growing caulepra algae. Have had feed back from other guys using it and they are also having very good success with it. I have got some phyto plankton , but am waiting a few weeks to see what the results are like with the reef solution supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 Where do you guys get it and how much? For obvious reasons, I can't get it locally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pies Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I feed flake once a week. I feed 1 sheet of Nori once or twice a week. I feed frozen once per fortnight. I was using cyclops ezee for my corals, not sure if it made a difference but will try it again with my new tank when its setup. Watchout for frozen food (mussles in particular) as its very high in nirtate and phosphate. Doesn't mean don't feed it, just don't over do it. Would use rotifers/plankton if I could get a regular source for it or culture it regulary and easily myself. I have a 740 litre tank and about 450 litres of refugium, which I think adds lots of live food to the tank, hence the reason I don't feed as much as others (i suspect).

lduncan Posted August 19, 2004 Report Share Posted August 19, 2004 I feed mysis and spirilina daily. Also got a culture of phytoplankton (nannochloropsis salina) going, but havn't added any to my tank yet. I want to give the aspartic acid another month or two to see how it goes.
