DIY Coral food

[Luigi]

Hi all I just watt to share My DIY Coral food,
A while ago user to feed home raised phytoplancton
Then got bored and NoT so muco time in My hand
So i quit ,
I look for alternative, and one of them mentioned spirulina
Whish is found also in "Fuel"
Well I was already using it
In My protein shakes and also Chlorella which is another super rich algae
This is just the basic nutrients content, it doesn't include the aminos content

 

[Luigi]

This is the amino content
Which is huge for an algae compare to a proteic amino acids

 

[Luigi]

Soo let the mix begin...
Since the past November I have been making my own, and I think it's ok My corals love it here we go,

These are the components
From left,
Expired Spirulina
Expired Chlorella
Ascorbic acid (Vit C) as preservative and Vit C
LPS Grow pellets
Reef Plus for a full spectrum of minerals and metals
Reef-Roids
Selcon for liquid Omegas

 

[Luigi]

They are expired for human consumption but they have been properly maintained in the fridge, you don't have to because it's powder but I chose to keep them there,
Half tablespoon of each chlorella and Spirulina

1 Tsp of Reef-Roids

1 Tsp of Ascorbic acid (Vit C)

1/2 Tsp of LPS Grow
Reduced to powder

 

[Luigi]

Squeeze them to powder
And add to the cup

I used a 560 ml bottle
I put the powder inside I filled 3/4 with water,
The I put 1/2 Tsp of Selcon
And 30 ml of Reef Plus
Top it up with the R/O water and shake

I feed about 20 ml 2 X a week
As mentioned before my corals love it

That is very helpful thank you. Do you spot feed with it?

 

[Luigi]

Nope,
turn off the skimmer for an hour, pour the food in the sump and let the tank running for the hour after that the skimmer will turn on automatically...

These are DIY timers that work the opposite the bottom one is for the skimmer and the top is for the return I just hit the 60 minutes and the skimmer shuts off for the amount of time
