Which Feeding Type Should I Do For Feeding My Corals

[StartingATank]

So, I have looked, and there are a couple of feeding types I found that are recommended, which are using Red Sea's Coral Nutrition, Using Reef Chili for Bulk Reef, or Pellets. Which One should I do?

I have a toadstool, Xenia, Zoas, Micromussa and Blastomussa, and Branching GSP

For most of those I don't know that feeding is necessary. I would pay special attention to both of the LPS though as they really benefit from feeding. Back when I had blastomussa and micromussa I target fed reef chili. I'm starting up a tank again and I'm going to target feed mysis shrimp to my LPS and broadcast feed reef chili for everything else. I'm also going to dose Red Sea reef energy for the amino acids.

Ultimately it's going to come down to what you find works best for you but I think it's ok to start small and then add complexity as you go. Remember you're dealing with photosynthetic corals here so they aren't fully reliant on added food. Reef chili is super cheap and it's hard to go wrong, either broadcast feeding (the directions on the bottle) or target feeding (less water, released directly above/on the polyp). It includes a lot of different food sources and sizes so it's a nice base to get started with. I do think amino acid dosing is one of those things everything in the tank can benefit from which is why I've decided to give Reef Energy a try.

I find Tidal Gardens has really nice guides as well which is where most of my opinions tend to come from . I always at least start with their care guides and learn what I can on here.

I feed frozen brine and mysis. Phyto, PNSB,and occasionally Reef Roids.

I wouldn't see why any of the listed coral would need supplemental feeding if you have fish in the tank. Aminos can jack up a tank real quick if you don't know what your doing.

Thanks for your info, I will try feeding Chili, Reef Energy, or Nothing. Thanks.
