Are Corals Fed?

[monisa]

1)Does one use Calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine, Strontium and the like weekly or do these come with frequent water changes?

2) Do you feed Corals with stuff like Phytoplankton, Cyclop-eeze daily or weekly or at all?

3) How often do we feed fish, Once every second day, Once a day, twice a day, please don't say its your choice, tell me what works, please?

Thanks

The stuff you mentioned in the first question comes in the salt, so water changes will replenish them. However, it is important to have test kits to measure these levels and dose as necessary to keep them stable.

As far as feeding corals I would get a book by Eric Borneman called Aquarium Corals. There are many different corals and many different needs among those corals.
