Thank you Reef Daddy


It's because of Reed Daddy that I know how much I can actually feed my tank. After watching him dump tons of food in his tank I started doing the same and my tank has never looked better. When I say tons, I mean TONS. I admit, when I first saw him shoveling the food in I was a little concerned, but after seeing the results I am convinced.

Moral of the story is that if you have a Becket skimmer skimming wet, feed your tank as much as you want.. I love the weekends now because I can feed my tank small amounts 15 times a day

I can't wait to post before and afters

I defintitally want to see these pics, and discription of how much you feed. I am currently doing the same thing, espcially after reading how much Reef-Daddy feeds, and some of my corals are taking very well to it, mostly the newest introductions, better PE, faster incrustation, and slightly darker color. However some of my corals, especially the smaller ones that have been in here the longest do not like it, they are showing STN. They are getting moved to the back tank.

I will be watching this,

I wonder why they would STN with more food. Is your No3 rising?

I am not 100% sure that it is the increace in food that is forcing them to STN, I think it may be that these corals have adapted to a tank I never feed, and now I have gone and changed it.

NO3 is the same as it was, 5-10, phospate still undetectable.

The reason I think this is because my newest corals have responded very well to the change. Some older corals have responded well as well, but they are a little slower to come around then the newer ones.
