    How do you all feed this stuff? Turn off what if anything.  Any suggestion to a new feeder of Coral Frenzy?
    Thanks
    I just measured off what it said on the jar, but just wonder if others have found that this may add some Nitrates or something to tank. Any suggestions would be helpful.

    I put some in a container with tank water and turn all my pumps off. then I spot feed about half then dump the rest in. I then turn my vortechs on and my return about an hour later leaving my skimmer off overnight

    Ok thank mthomp. So is there a reason to turn Skimmer off and the return pump? It says mix with tank water 1/4 teaspoon per 50gals. I did 1.5 teaspoons. Mixed it in a small cup and pored it in.It don't say to turn anything off. I know feeding Marine snow it asks you to do both of these things. I am feeding because I want to see some polyp extension and see if my coral will grow more too.

    well I turn my return off so it doesnt go all through my sump and filtration and stays in the DT. I leave my skimmer off so that when I do turn my return back on it doesnt go nuts. Give my coral every chance to get as much as possible.
