I recently started using Captiv8 Aquaculture salt and I wanted to provide my initial thoughts and observations on what I have been seeing with my tanks.
How important is it to add coral food such as amino acids or other additives to your tank to have a thriving collection of SPS?
The cost of prepared food for fish in a reef tank can add up over time. My solution was to make my own DIY homemade fish food.
Coral Frenzy improved its line of coral food by reformulating its powder and pellet feeds. One reason was to improve compliance with international requirements.
Masstick fish food, manufactured by Easy Reefs, is a self-adhesive paste you can stick on the aquarium glass or live rock, allowing fish to constantly feed.
Coral Frenzy has a 0.5mm Reef Pellet that is best for Duncans, Micromusa, and Acans. It is also a great food for small wrasses and fish fry.
Coral Frenzy’s Ultimate Coral Food is designed to feed everything, including corals, filter feeders and even small fish. One stop shopping, if you will.
Coral Frenzy’s 1mm Reef Pellet contains squid meal, herring meal and shrimp meal. The 70g jar can feed a tank for 2-3 months.
Reef Nutrition’s Oyster-Feast is their best all-around base feed for the majority of invertebrates in a reef tank. Phyto-Feast can be used as a second base feed.
