Feeding Requirements

[Brisk]

Are there any specific feeding requirements for coral and fish in a reef aquarium?

I'm sure you'll get a million different answers to this. For example, I use LRS reef frenzy/pellets to feed fish, inverts, and LPS. I also use reef energy for the corals..sometimes reef roids..

I'd say find some products that you stand behind and roll with it.

Everyone has a different system.

Some organisms may require a specific diet or food type, just research what you have/want and go from there.

Yes, but they are species specific. My advice would be feed your fish small amounts multiple times daily but be very careful feeding corals as what one coral likes can have a negative impact on another.

QUESTION OF THE DAY - Are you "direct" feeding your corals in 2021 and is it worth it?

I took to feeding my Acans heavily twice a week to try to get them to grow. A combination of reef roids, pelets, and red sea AB+ aminos. They kept doing crappy, they'd feed, but, their flesh never looked good. Then a person I buy my corals from mentioned checking my phosphates. So I had an ICP...

Everyone will have their own opinion, and regimen, I would say do some research, always go with high quality, and generally speaking, feed your fish first, this will trigger a feeding response from the corals, then feed them. I only feed my corals about twice a week. If you have any non photosynthetic corals, they will need more.

Like mentioned, specific corals and fish will require specific feeding. My tailspot blenny grazes on a little nuisance algae but also eats meaty food like mysis. Certain coral will also eat mysis but some will reject it.

I tend feed variety rotating between 6 different varieties of food. Hoping I’m meeting all the nutritional requirements. 3 types of frozen and 3 types of dry.

mysis shrimp has always been my go to. Like others have said though it depends on what you've got in your tank.
