1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 I am a big Kent fan. There is ZooPlex, PhytoPlex, ChromaPlex, Coral-Accel, and MicroVert but what is the best. I know the best would probably be all of the above. I have just a few days ago heard about oyster eggs. Have you heard anything about them. Do they work? What do you guys use? Link to comment
balla816 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 i use marine snow........i have never heard of anything about oyster eggs Link to comment
1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Is marine snow in a liquid form and you put a few drops in or what? Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Water Changes!!! thats the best. Link to comment
1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 My water is perfect. I just want to know about feeding the coral. They can grow with just light, but they will do better if you feed them. Link to comment
balla816 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 yes marine snow is a liquid......it goes by teaspoons and what not.......i have not had any problem with it......i also have phytoplex i use that every once in a while.......the only thing i dont like about marine snow is that i you have to keep it refigerated after each use .......i dont like to do that cuz everytime i have to use it i have to go all the way doesntairs and come all the way back up then all the way dwn again.......lol but thats just sheer laziness Link to comment
1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 Thanks. Do you put it in during the day or at night. Because don't the corals do most of their feeding during the night? Link to comment
balla816 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 depdnds what corals.......i usually feed my corals during the day when i see them open Link to comment
1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 That is a good point. However some of my corals are really open during the night because of my moonlight. So I dont know when I will feed them. I might try and get something in the morning. Thanks for your help! Link to comment
balla816 Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 y dont u feed a lil bit in the day and a lil at night.......u could even sart spot feeding......but if u feed ur corals during the day and there is stuff left over it still going to be in the water at night when ur other corals open Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 Phytoplankton... DT's is probably considered the best. Link to comment
1996indy500 Posted January 17, 2005 Author Share Posted January 17, 2005 I used DT's phytoplankton in one of my 55s and it worked good. It went bad pretty fast even in the frig. I just didn't want to mess with that again. However the stuff from DT is live so the corals might like it better. I did some research and DT sells oyster eggs. They are 30-50 microns and are eaten by sps and lps. I think my LFS has some I might check that out. Link to comment
ifynanceu Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I like DT's and Liquid Life's Coral Plankton and Marine Plankton (Cyclopeeze)...Totally awesome results and not alot of filler junk like the majority of the other products out there. Link to comment
