How to Feed Your Reef Tank: Expert Tips for Surface & Bottom Feeders | Hilary Jaffe
Are you sure every inhabitant in your reef tank is getting the nutrition they need? In this video, Hilary breaks down essential feeding strategies for both new and experienced hobbyists, specifically focusing on the challenge of feeding bottom-dwelling species like mandarins, gobies, and corals. You’ll learn the difference between surface, column, and bottom feeding preferences, and why relying on a single feeding method might be leaving your cleanup crew hungry. Hilary shares pro tips on establishing live copepod populations, selecting the right pellet size for your fish, and two clever hacks to help small pellets break surface tension so they actually sink. Whether you are broadcast feeding or target feeding after lights out, these tips will help you observe your livestock's health more effectively and maintain a vibrant, thriving marine ecosystem.
