Prata?? Can feed daily, no problem but I usually feed alternate days or once per 3 days... :P

Now reducing my feeding as feed too much will cause nitrates and phoshates to increase. B)

If you want to feed market prawns, need to chop into small pieces hor...but prata dun need lah. My prata ate one of my clown fishes previously when it died and landed on the prata.

Better way of feeding is to use Mysis shrimp. Foul the water less...or else you can use Henry's Reef Gourmet.

went down to henry's and bought the gourmet. apparently my long tentacles spit out after a couple of hrs later after i target feed it, wonder why.. :unsure: but the rest all ate the gourmet.

use a syringe to squirt mysis at the corals u intend to feed.

do not feed market prawns everyday. your coral will die. regardless of which coral...

LPS don't need regular feedings. once in awhile like 1 or 2 weeks a light feeding with mysis will benefit them alot already. like what bro vtec has mentioned, pellets are very useful. i feed pelelts to my brains and favias. for stinging wavy corals, mysis works very well. market prawn once in awhile ya :)

very nice tank btw. looking very great

oh but do take note there are some exceptions like sun corals and other non-photosynthetic corals. since they don't photosynthesize to make food, regular feedings will have to be made. daily feedings are best, but again, in small portions :)

btw ketchup and desi, your tank is looking great. love that big hammer and blue tang. colourful tank in the making! :)
