Koralfodring

[christiantt]

Hvor ofte fodrer i med Marine Snow og PhytoPlan??

[HansR]

Jeg har fodret lidt med marine snow i en periode, hvor jeg fodrede hver 3 dag, men jeg var langt fra sikker på, at det havde nogen efekt, hvorfor jeg holdt op igen, da det blev for dyrt. Så har jeg lavet mit eget koralfoder efter en opskrift fra Bornemanns bog Aquarium Corals, det er billigere. Det fodre jeg med en gang imellem. Jeg kan se at koralerne åbner sig yderligere når jeg fodre med dette, så et eller andet er der i, som de gerne vil have fat i.

Kunne du lokkes til at komme med den opskrift? for det lyder interessant.

frisk opskrift til pappone,hentet på reefitalia.net english section

Materials:

5 Oysters
5 Mussels
5 Clams
5 Shrimp (NOT cocktail shrimp, the big scampi type w/o the head and the shell)
1 Tablespoon of Sugar (not corn syrup, etc.)
200 mL of RO/DI water
10 g of Red Algae (Palmaria palmata; Bisck uses Julian Sprung's brand)
and/or 10 g of Spirulina, 10 g of Nori (spirulina is what Bisck prefers)

Methods: Make SURE that all ingredients are the freshest possible and DO NOT use frozen foods (unless it is impossible for you). Make sure everything "live" is rinsed and cleaned before putting it into the blender. Put all the ingredients into the blender and blend for 5 min, wait 2 min for it to cool, 5 more min blending, 2 min of waiting again, then finally another 5 min of blending (the pausing is so that the solution doesn't get too hot and "cook" from the heat of the blender/blades). Pour into cube forms (approx 10 mL each). Then freeze it all—you want to minimize how long everything is at room temperature.

Procedure: One hour prior to turning off your lights, you have the option of adding Amino acids to the tank*. (For example, 11pm Halides off, add AA’s, 12am, actinics off, then add pappone). Take off the cup of your skimmer, but leave the skimmer running (so you don’t have a massive drop in O2 levels overnight). After the lights are off, start with only a ¼ of a cube per WEEK for every 400 L of tank water (approx 100 gallons). Be sure to measure NO3 and PO4 the next morning so that these parameters don't spike after feeding. You can reduce the amount fed if you are having nutrient problems. Also don’t forget to put the skimmer cup back on the next morning before the lights go back on.

*If everything is going well. It is good to wait and see how the tank is doing for awhile before trying this. The whole point here is that you don't want to change anything too fast, because nothing good happens quickly in this hobby. (Another method to grind up amino acid pills in the next batch of food; however Bisck found that it sometimes causes diatom outbreaks in his tank).

Also called the blue coral method and involves: the classic Berlin Method, good water chemistry, and the pappone(coral) feedings.
