liquid food for LPS

[pokmingsheng]

currently using 5 in 1 liquid food from Aquapharm..

bottle about to finish...

thinking of trying other brands..

any other good brands to recommend???

[ReDDeviLs]

actually most lps prefer more meaty food.

[Jameshong]

Yap...bro ReDDeviLs is right...lps needs meaty food too. For me...I also dose Aquapharm 5 in 1 liquid food daily and feed them meaty food once a week .

[pokmingsheng]

i do feed them meaty food as well....

so i can make do without the liquid food?

not necessary right?

[TayHongSiang]

dun waste yr money on liquid food...meaty food is the best. for soft corals and clams, you can use liquid food.

actually... i haven't been feeding my corals much... dose 5in1 1-2 times every week and reefroids about once a week. Prob explains why not much growth, but they are all thriving?

[RockyBoy]

Never feed at all. But keep on growing...

i dose the aquapharm 5 in 1 into my sump 3 times a week to feed the huge population of sponges in my sump. works like a cheaper version of zeovit's sponge power. I mix mine with Brightwell's Amino Acid for that extra sumthin sumthin

for Lps i feed them a mixture of New life spectrum, Osi and cyclopees soaked in aminos and mashed till mushie mushie, then target feed with a syringe one a week.

actually, i suppose sometimes my pellets make their way into my LPS' mouth...

most LPS have feeder tentacles to catch sizeable meaty foods from the water cloumn. think about it this way.

LPS utilize much of their ability to have strong stinging tentacles, and powerful prey capture ability. this leads u to think that they are likely to catch and stun sizeable prey in the wild. such good examples will be mysis and other small meaty creatures. liquid food simply have little to no effect on LPS.

i strongly reccomend feeding mysis to LPS..... many reefers use prawn meat which may be detrimental in the long run if overfed. mysis once a week is more then enough. squirt a small portion onto the feeder tentacles and watch them go. prawn meat is too dense with long protein structures making it harder to digest unless you feed sparingly, and in small portions.
