Feeding Strategies for a Thriving Reef Tank

Saltwater

Proper feeding fuels coral growth and fish health. Target feed corals with Reef-Roids, Coral Frenzy, or frozen foods using a turkey baster. Broadcast feed phytoplankton for filter feeders. Feed fish 2-3 small meals daily rather than one large meal. Essential foods: frozen mysis, PE calanus, TDO pellets, nori for tangs, and live foods for picky eaters. Amino acid supplements (Acropower, Red Sea Reef Energy) boost coral coloration. Avoid overfeeding — it's the #1 cause of water quality issues.
