Feeding LPS ?'s

BloatedSwimBladder · #1 05/17/2006, 05:19 PM

I know this will sound dumb, but I want to make sure i am doing everything I can for my LPS (tourch and 2 hammers).

Assuming that my lights are fine and I keep good water quality, will the LPS benefit from regular feeding? Also, how do i feed them? Cyclopeze from a turkey baster?

Any help would be appreciated.

I feed all of my LPS (Acan Lords, Frogspawn, Blasto's, etc) and my softies. I take a small glass and put frozen mysis, cyclopeez, sweet zooplankton, and prime reef in it and add a little tank water. I mix it up good and use a needleless syringe to feed them. Just turn off your pumps and squirt a little on them and they will close up on it. I do not think that it is mandatory to do this but it sure makes them grow.

Forgot to add but I do this bout 2 x per week.

Thanks.

I have been feeding them for the past couple of weeks, I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing.

Any other information anyone can share that would help them grow best?

Make sure you feed them AFTER you feed your fish and shrimp! Thieves I tell you...
