whats the best stuff to feed your corals?

Whats the best, For speed of growth of zoo's and other corals? What do you feed yours? Let me know!!

[Woodstock]

Depends on the type of coral and its polyp size. I feed my zoas thawed cyclopeeze and liquified homemade mush.

[Tigger]

i uses golden pearls w good results on my sps.

Frozen cyclopeze and zooplankton are what get the best results here. I rotate through a variety so hard to tell what gets the best growth, but those 2 get the best reaction from the corals.

I mix my own coral/fish food. The base is red, brown, green algae, cyclopeeze, marine snow, high quality flake food, freeze dried blood worms and freeze dried brine shrimp, garlic and a host of other natural ingredients. I make a monster batch which lasts at least a year and the coral/fish absolutely LOVE the stuff. From fresh to frozen to a year later corals and fish are totally happy. When I get the camera fixed I will show how happy they get

I use frozen cyclopeeze for almost all my corals. I feed my lps and sun corals frozen mysis shrimp, some of my zoas will eat the shrimp as well. I just bought some Selcon today, so I'll be soaking the shrimp in this, I'm not sure if I'll see any improvement, but I'll let you know.

I do a homemade mixture of brine shrimp, squid, scallops, regular shrimp, dry cyclopeeze, 2 different sizes of phytoplankton & 2 different sizes of zooplankton.

Everything loves it even the zoas

So those of you who make your own mixes... how do you take care of storage? (Especially over a year?) Freeze it in little dose-sized chunks, or...?

[clownmorph]

I freeze mine in ice cube trays and then after they are all good and frozen I take all the cube and put them into freezer bags that I can use an air sucker thing and make them all air tight and then put them all back into the freezer.

[lcstorc]

I freeze it flat and thin in ziplock bags and once frozen solid break it up with a hammer and store in ziplocks. I don't have enough room or enough tiny ice trays to make regular cubes. One time hubby cut the flat block with a knife into portion size pieces after it was frozen. That worked pretty well.
Another good idea I have heard is to use the squares of egg crate to make the cube shapes.

Best stuff to feed your corals?

IMHO -- frequent water changes and plenty of light.

[reefmasta]

i feed live phtyoplankton, live rotifers. along with roti rich and combovital, and about once a week i kick up detritis in my fuge and it will feed alot of my seamatt and blue/yellow zoes. also using a refugium FULL of macro algae so i can jack feeding to everyday and alot.and i use natural sunlight for my corals. and my live rock is AMAZING, coral spawns of leathers and daisy polyps all over. =)
havent done a water change in atleast a year and nitrates are about 5ppm and others are perfect and have been since i set it up.
