More food isn’t always better
Reef tanks run on balance. Corals can benefit from feeding, but excess food becomes nutrients—and excess nutrients often becomes algae. The goal is targeted feeding with strong export and smart flow.
Feeding basics (simple)
- Feed small amounts
- Watch coral response (extension, inflation)
- Keep a consistent schedule
- Don’t “panic feed” after a bad day

Flow prevents “settling”
Good flow keeps food suspended longer, reduces dead spots, and helps corals shed waste. Poor flow lets detritus settle and fuels nuisance algae.
