Fresh Hatched Brine vs Reef Roids/Benepet

[Bruttall]

I have been hatching brine for about 8 months now and not using any reefroids or powdered coral foods, though I do add ZEOfood Plus when I coral snow my tank every other weekend. All my corals seem to be pretty healthy, happy, and growing. I am pretty convinced the coral deaths I have been thru are due to water parameter fluctuations and not starvation.

Anyone else have any experience with hatching brine shrimp they want to share? Also my smaller fish, wrasse's and goby's seem to love those clouds or shrimp when I add them to the display.

All my fish go after the brine shrimp. If you want your coral to get some of the brine shrimp, you can cut the bottom off a two liter bottle, so you can create a barrier and then use a baster to put the brine shrimp in the cap.

I will also do brine shrimp after mysis, so the fish are less hungry, and less likely to go after them
