  • This video is my opinion on how to use Reef Roids in a reef tank to feed your coral. I feed Acan coral, Trachy coral, Duncan coral, Candy Cane coral, Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Fungia Plate coral, Favia coral, Leptastrea coral, and others. Including SPS, LPS, and Soft corals. The coral growth is amazing when used my way.

    I've been adding a little reef roids in my oatmeal in the morning. I feel a lot better and have even stopped being a coffee drinker. Amazing product.

    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

    • @BillyPipes

      Reef Builders 👍. Your video looked to be more fun though lol

  • @dereks3207
    @dereks3207 6 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.

    @m3rob7 5 лет назад +8

    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!

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  5 лет назад

      Awesome. Glad it helped 👍

  • @TheWheelTurns
    @TheWheelTurns 5 лет назад +7

    Thank You! I have always liked the nutritional content of RR but not the mess - I have a nano, so the tank gets dirty fast. I used to spot feed with a turkey baster which still got food everywhere. your trick solved the problem, thanks!

  • @eddiediederich7244

    I watched this video 2 years ago and have been feeding this way ever since. its a great way to make sure they all get some. Little time consuming, but worth it.

    • @BillyPipes
      @BillyPipes  4 года назад

      I agree, I stopped doing it for a little while because of it being time consuming. But I started doing it again with some new frags and it really helps them out👍👍

    Dude I had acans that come from a tank that had crashed these guys were still alive barely .. half bleached colonies, lots of bleached corals etc .. I dipped & added them to my tank started using reef roids like this .. now two weeks later they are really coming back strong with a vengeance I've got baby acans growing all over these colonies, subbed :)

  • @lisawolk4359
    @lisawolk4359 5 лет назад +1

    Thanks for the video! I stopped feeding my corals and nems in fear of putting excess nutrients in my tank but doing it this way instead of broadcasting will help eliminate waste. Just bought the syringes and am excited to get them and try the paste. 👍👍

  • @kryten93
    @kryten93 6 лет назад

    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!

    @richmckee8868 4 года назад +3

    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.

  • @karennation3580
    @karennation3580 3 года назад

    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!

    Good Stuff. I'm embararrased to say. I've been into salt water for about 2-3 years. I've always feed Mysis or brine to my fish But it was my understanding that SPF Corals fed off of the light. ( No wonder all my corals die in a few weeks) So today got some Reef Roids and target fed the few I have left. I'll Let you know how that works in a month or so. I'm subcribing to your chanel bro.
