Gogol was asking about live food for corals so I figured we could start a new thread for it. I will start with my feeding habits and maybe other people can chime in with theirs.
I feed my whole tank with brine shrimp 1-2 days after they hatch. Every single coral in the tank opens up after a feeding. Some of my new acan frags opened up so much that I thought the skin was receding. I am probably going to make/put a hatching station in my sump to feed the tank constantly since the coral is responding very well to the young brine shrimp. The baltimore aquarium's coral tanks are fed with live brine shrimp every 30 minutes, so I think this would be a good system to try.
I am also feed DT's live phyto once a week (if that). The coral doesn't really respond to it, but I like to think it does help boost the copepod population in my tank.
I am/was starting to raise rotifers but my culture died so I can't comment yet on adding them. I will probably feed the tank daily with the harvestings as well as see if that has any effect.
