Robb in Austin Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 After watching the mayoral debate tonight, I'd say LFS all the way. See if one of them can get us a discount if enough folks pony up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+dapettit Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 That's a very good idea. Does anyone know which LFS carries the roids? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+dapettit Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 When do you guys feed your corals? Morning before lights come on. During the photoperiod. Evening before lights out. After lights out. I'm sure there is no hard and fast rule just curious. I've been target feeding mine around 6 pm during the photoperiod. I'm not getting much polyp extension but I am seeing a lot of new growth. Thanks in advance, Dav- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 When do you guys feed your corals?Morning before lights come on. During the photoperiod. Evening before lights out. After lights out. I feed mine in the evening while the lights are still on. This is mainly because that is when I am home I generally sprinkle some reef roids in the tank while the pumps are on to "wake up" the corals. Then I start thawing the frozen food. When that is thawed, I turn off the pumps and target feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Oh woe is me. I have veered from the righteous path of the Reef Roids. I ran out of them, and I was putting in an order with Drs F&S (for some other sutff I needed). But lo, they did not carry the red powdery goodness. So instead I got some Coral Frenzy to try (it says it has oyster larvae in it). It is a much finer brown powder than the Roids .... I tried some last night and it clouded up the tank a lot more than the Reef Roids ever did. Will let you know if in the end I like it, but my first impressions are not that good. With the Roids, I could see my sun corals and gorgonians grabbing particles out of the water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
