coral feeding
hi,
When you feed your coral (zooplancton or phytoplancton...) do you just stop the filtration or cut all the circulation. I tend to stop my filtration only when not target feeding and stop filtration and circulation when target feeding then turn on circulation after 30 min and filtration in 1 hour. any input would be appreciated. |

I used to shut down all 6 power heads, and the return to the tank. 30 min then 2ph on, 10 more the other 4ph, 10 more the return.
Now I only shut off 4ph, leave on 2 Hydor 4's, shut down the return for 1/2 hr. This way it gets circulated around the tank for 1/2 hr. |
