How Often Should I Feed My Corals?
Quick Answer
Combat algae by reducing nutrients (overfeeding, lights), adding cleanup crew members like snails and hermits, and maintaining stable water parameters. Most algae issues stem from excess nitrates or phosphates.
Most corals benefit from 1-3 times per week.
LPS Corals
- Feed 2-3x weekly
- Best foods: mysis, reef roids
Soft Corals
- Optional 1x weekly
- Rely on photosynthesis
SPS Corals
- Daily broadcast feeding
- Copepods, amino acids
