Okay guys. I'm looking into raising some food for my tank. Just as much for my enjoyment of raising the food as for my corals health. I need a smaller setup than most of you guys though, because I'm only running a 29g nano atm.
So let me give you a quick run down of my tank inhabitants. All of these are frags at the moment. No large colonies... but I want them to get that way quickly so... they need to eat a lot! lol.
SPS - 9 pieces. Montipora Digitata, Monti Cap, Pink Birdsnest, Apple Something Birdsnest (not scientific), Green Slimer, Unknown, Purple Tipped Acro, Pink Stylo, Meteor Shower (I've heard these referred to as both SPS and LPS)
LPS - 8 pieces. Frogspawn, War Coral, Dendro, Reverse Prism Favia, Nuclear Favia, War Coral, Duncans, Acan
Others - 5 different Zoas, Green Sinularia, Green Hairy Mushrooms, Rhodactis Mushrooms, Superman Mushrooms, Tri-Color Ricordia
So first of all... I'm not concerned with feeding anything but SPS and LPS obviously. I have amphipods and copepods in my system currently with a rock rubble refugium. So my first question is WHAT should I grow to feed? Should I grow zooplankton for my SPS? Brine for LPS? One of the two? Neither? Something completely different. You guys tell me!
Once I get you guys who are more experienced than me to guide me in the right direction I'll research how to grow that specific item and ask more questions from there.
Thanks!
