Do I Need to Feed My Gonipora?

[VintageReefer]

I've not heard that gonipora have any special sensitivity to magnesium levels. Is that what you are suggesting? What's the basis for it?

Same here. Only talk of goniopora and manganese believed to be linked.

I don’t target feed any of my goni

I do add manganese daily. I feel that’s important.

I have tried all sorts of products to target feed. Reef roids, copepods, plankton, aminos, caviar, oyster eggs, benereef. I get zero feeding response so I stopped.

Light flow and manganese seem to be the key

Where can I get manganese?

In addition to phyto, oyster eggs, pac pods, beta brine, etc.. I've been very successful feeding Goniopower from Two Little Fishies.

I target feed at least once per week.

As other have stated, keep your magnesium levels up and dosing manganese is also beneficial. You can find manganese at BRS, aquacave, saltwateraquarium, etc..

Amazon. There are a bunch of diy recipes in the sticky diy thread at the top of this forum.

DIY Chemistry Archive

I thought it would be useful to have an archive of DIY chemistry methods. I'll add to it as things come up. Calcium and Alkalinity DIY method comparison https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/randy-recommended-diy-two-part-recipes.984604/ Three Part using Sodium Hydroxide (including Balling Part...

In addition to what’s been mentioned in other replies, you can get a big bottle from moonshiners. It’s not the most cost effective but a 20$ bottle will last 1-2 years
