Food for corals

[angmoh]

as far as i know, we have zooplankton , phytoplankton, golden pearl and those bottled liquidfied coral food like Salifert's Coral Food...

i'm wondering for my corals like buttons, gonipora, mushrooms and feather duster ... or maybe in the futher other LPS or polyps , what shall i feed them ??

zoo ? phyto ? golden pearl or ?

i heard tat liveplankton wont deteriorate the water quality easily but those commercial liquified coral food will, is it ?

Blend squid, prawn and mussels and other seafood you wish to add, drain the water, freeze the rest. Thaw and you got both fish and coral food. Much better than any bottled coral food in terms of nutrition. Any food no matter how it is prepared will compromise water quality if you overfeed. Just take it easy on feeding. Feeding instructions on commercial products should never be followed fully...tanks vary.

thanks for ur advice.. meaning that i need to goto market, get a few types of seafood, blend them together, remove the water and froze them ?

wat bout feeding dosage then ? is there any general guideline for home made food ?

Yep. That's right. Feed as much as your fish & corals consume. Experience will lead you along as you feed. Such food will satisfy everything. From fish, to corals and to crustaceans. Crustaceans can't synthesize cholesterol and can only obtain it from diet. Best source is from fresh seafood.
