LPS feeding frequency

[koniyakutz]

Hi guys,

How often do you feed your LPS?

Currently, I have dosing phyto daily(for softies) and mysis+cyclopezee(target feed, 3 times a week).

However, a fellow reefer told me to stop doing so as frequent feeding will foul the water and overwhelm the coral's ablity to process food and thus cause it to die. He told me with enough lights, corals with zoo can make their own food and there is no need to feed.

Anyone here lost any corals from overfeeding before?

Thanks

I think once a week should be fine... thats what i do... But not alot lah!

About 2 piece of prawn 1X1cm is enuff for brains and pratas... My own view la.

My own experience.

2) twice a week small piece of prawn meat!
