dt's oyster eggs
Hey just wondering about how and when you guys feed corals with this.
http://www.dtplankton.com/oystereggs.html Do you guys feed at night like the site says?? Also, do you guys notice better colors and such with it?

Not sure if you need Dt's. Maybe a powerhead every few days in the sump and around the tank. My collonista snails are going crazy.

i used it for a while and found that my corals liked it. i fed them during the day. i did not see why i had to feed them at night.

Feed at night because that is when the corals will have greater polyp extension. They will also be able to capture more of what you are putting in the tank.

I used to feed it and my corals liked it. Not sure about it but I was suuspicious about phosphates and stoped using it.

I put Oyster Eggs in my feeding recipe, along with phyto, golden pearls, and some amino acids. I turn the skimmer off for several hours, and I do feed at night as the current is reduced. I can't tell you whether or not it affects color, as I don't feed oyster eggs alone.

i feed my tank at night once a week. i notice my candy cane opens up at night and some of the polyps do too. there are also some animals that you never see during the day cycle that would like some food too.
