Do you rinse your food in RO after it melts down? Lots of junk in the blocks...

I feed my suncoral and others like it artic pods or oyste and they seem to like it very well. I feed about every 3 days and they seem to like it.

ok....I am sure this is going to start something...but here we go.

To answer your question, I do my own DIY fish food and target feed my Duncan's from time to time. Worked out quite well. First 4 months I had them I went from 3 heads to 13, then started the DIY food and in the next 3 months I went from 13 heads to 60+. True story. Also, I have fed them guppies....shhh. Don't tell anyone.

I feed heavily everyday and have no issues with Nitrates increasing.... make sure your skimmer is working good, clean out your filters, and do weekly water changes and you should be A ok...

I feed pellets, mysis, brine, dang near everything and anything!!!!
My corals are pigs anyways!!!!!

Good luck!
