Feed a new tank?

[cjworkman]

Hi all,
I have a brand new tank that is almost done cycling. The rocks have corals and sponges that survived the trip to my house.
Should I be putting something in the tank to keep them fed?

What kind of corals...
I would say most likely no... you do not want to raise your levels any higher than they already are.

Thanks for the response. ...
mostly soft corals.. i think i had one hard coral that seemed to be barely clinging to life but is looking better lately.
my ammonia never spiked above 0.50 and is now settling back between 0 and 0.25.
Just wondered if and when I should try to feed them.

They should be fine... you would have to be more specific but most corals are photosynthetic which means they get most of their food source from the lights... Unless you have lps.
