    For a long time, about a year I have added nothing to the tank specifically to feed the corals. Just did a 30m feed mode on apex to shut down my return then feed the fish club food. The corals always showed a feeding response so I figured it was enough. I just haven't been happy with my growth. Don't get me wrong groth has been ok, I just knew it could be better. For the last couple weeks I have been feeding reef chili every other night. About a hour after lights out I will do a 30m feed mode and target feed each colony. The response has been insane! Crazy polyp extension and new growth all over the place! Stuff that has been creeping along is now very actively growing.

    Would you be able to provide how you target feed and what you are mixing with the reef chili? Also what type of corals in specific?

    Thanks

    I use kent marine sea squirt. It's basically a extendable turkey baster. I hit every colony in the tank with the stuff. My tank is mostly sps and zoas. The reef chili is a bulkreefsupply.com product.

    love the reef chili. It seems always sold out so I usually go with coral frenzy instead.

    Often I will mix it in a amino acid before I feed it.
