Adding Supliments?

[cadbury]

Thanks again Broomer, your right about setting your own schedule, like I said I just wanted a starting point. I know it'll be up to me and the tank progression to see what to do from there. Also thanks to everyone for their input, I truely love this board, everyone is so great here. There is so much too learn and no better way to do it then take other peoples experiances and add them into yours.

It's a great board and a great hobby.
Here's last thing - gotta include a pic LOL
That's about all that's in my fish closet now - I'm out of kalk

Promise last question, when you do your direct feedinds, do you use phtoplankton every 3 or four days, or do you use something else to feed your corals?

I feed the corals and anemone that have a gaping mouth - meaty seafoods mostly. These include my two open brains, the sebae anemone, a cat's eye coral and a bubble coral.
I began using Coral Heaven when I updated my lighting.
Please do not ask me where I buy it. I'd much rather you do a search on the internet to find out what it is, and where to buy it if interested.
It's a dry powder coral food that you keep in the fridge.
Mixed with tankwater - I squirt it on all open polyps with a pipette, and occasionally target feed some of the meat eaters too. The solids I target feed, the juice that is left over I add to the tank for filter feeders.
I stopped using DT and other water column suspended foods a few months ago.
I prefer to target feed now and use the liquid leftover juice from the Coral Heaven.
This may change someday as well.

I had some questions about additives, so I did a search and found this thread. Very informative.
Thanks BROOMER for the time spent on this topic. I appreciate your efforts on this site.
