    I know this is an old video but I watched this 3 months ago and tried it . I don’t normally comment but this works an absolute treat , all my corals weren’t doing much or growing after doing this I’ve had everything double in size and polyps split untold .
    Well done sir good video

    I just tried this tonight for the first time. Wow, thanks man! Cant believe how quick my corals reacted to it. The second the food hits while mixing it this way they react and start to open. Been trying to feed my scolys for a year with RR and mysis and they wouldnt budge! Tonight they opened immediately to eat. Awesome tip!

  • @dereks3207
    @dereks3207 7 лет назад +18

    you can activate other corals feeding response by putting a tiny bit of reef roids in the tank while the flow is going. turn off pumps and feed acans and stuff first, by the time you finish, candy canes and chalices should have their feeders out.

    I stumbled across this video just after you posted it and decided to try it since I was not seeing results from any other feeding method. I would have to battle my fish if I used pellets and some corals would never give a feeding response at all. After a couple weeks of doing it this way, all of my corals, even my ricordea's give an aggressively active feeding response. I have seen a significant improvement in polyp extension and color as well. This has even saved my Sun Coral as I always had a hard time feeding it. Thank you!

    OMG I make it thick as well! So many people use the long feeding syringes and you just see them let out what looks like smoke or something with no consistency! The only thing is some of the corals dont seem to have a mouth and thinking that maybe I should do it that way for those corals and maybe they can absorb it better through their flesh. Like sps and my lobos, symphyllia and chalice. I love the syringe tip you use, looks like you can get around to some difficult to reach polyps with that. I think I saw one on amazon but didint really think how well it would work. Did you get it off amazon? The syringe I use is unable to suck up the thicker food I make as well so I have to add water and then I add the reef roids powder directly in the syringe and shake it up or use a pipette to stir it. I cant say whether or not it has increased growth because I have always done it that way and still pretty much a newbie as well! Love your channel!

    have you tried coral frenzy? just curious to know results vs reef roids

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  5 лет назад

      I haven't tried it. After the first container of reefroids was empty and I had such good results I just stayed with it

    I do all my corals like you did the zoa application; acloud floating just above the corals that falls right onto everything since there's no flow. So basically the same technique but 3-4" away from the coral instead of directly onto it. Works very well, but I'd like to see a side by side now that I've seen your method.

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      Lps love the thick method👍

    Great stuff man, thanks for sharing! For how long do you let them eat before you turn on the pumps again?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      I usually went 10-12 max minutes with no flow👍

    Just curious, when you sprayed the zoas with reef roids did you use the same thick batch you made for the acans or did you make a separate less concentraded mix?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  7 лет назад

      Sjet it was the same batch but I sucked in some water before shooting it out so it was a less thick mix. But I have fed zoas the thick way and they love it

    nice video! I like your method of using reef roids and can't wait to try it out. Where do you get that syringe, it has a neat angled spout that looks perfect for this. My syringe is from my kids tylenol and has a very short spout making it hard to aim the food at poylps that are facing down or to the sides.

    • @BillyPipes

      CrackerJack thanks. I got it from my dentist. Maybe check ebay for it

    • @jtang81

      Thanks! Found them on amazon as "curved tip syringe".

    • @jtang81
      @jtang81 7 лет назад

      So i tried this method on my frogspawn, duncans, bubble tip anemone, candy canes, acans, even some discosoma mushrooms and they all gobbled up the reef roids. Thanks for this video, very helpful!

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  7 лет назад

      +CrackerJack awesome! Try it once a week for like 2 weeks to see if they want it more than once a week.

    Do you think this would work with acros? especially the ones that are not "hairy".

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  6 лет назад

      +Dmitry Tumanov yup. But I dust them the same way I dust the zoas towards the end of the video

    • @TreasureCorals
      @TreasureCorals 6 лет назад

      How would they consume the roids though? Are you assuming that they will release a polyp, grab a particle and bring it back in the body.

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  6 лет назад

      +Dmitry Tumanov I watched em grab it and pull it in. They are encrusting ery fast and I have a low light low flow tank so I think the roids are helping

  • @yaridong
    @yaridong 6 лет назад

    Awesome video. Two questions...
    1. You do not have any annoying cleaner shrimp in your tank? If so, how do you go about not having them attack the corals during feeding?
    2. Have you yourself or have you heard of others using reef roids for bubble tip anemones and it having a positive effect?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  6 лет назад +1

      yaridong funny you ask that lol. I made sure this tank didn't have of the shrimp this time. Otherwise I used to feed the shrimp and then the Coral. And I've heard my method works with anemones

  • @markruddy3227
    @markruddy3227 7 лет назад

    How often do you feed reef roids? Is the syringe one you can get on Amazon?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  7 лет назад

      Mark Ruddy about every 5-6 days. And I think Amazon has the syringe 👍

    • @markruddy3227

      Billy Pipes thanks Billy. Found both the roids and syringe (hope this comment doesn't set off alarm bells) on Amazon.

    I’ve wondered how others were doing this, thanks for the tip!

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  7 лет назад

      Michael Cross I think it's about 10-15 mL

    • @mmbtrumpet
      @mmbtrumpet 7 лет назад

      Billy Pipes I found them on eBay, it’s a 12ml. Thanks for the reply!!

    excellent video! and I use almost the same technique with the product, what I wanted to ask you is if you feed yourself at night when the lights go out? or in the day?

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      Ive done night and day feeding. I think I saw better results when I fed at night only
