I want to keep this thing as healthy as possible and get maximum growth without upsetting my tank parameters. I've read that most people seem to feed sun corals 1 or 2 times a week but right now I'm feeding every 2 days. I give it a cube of PE mysis, 1/2 cube cyclopeeze, and 1/2 cube squid based on others inputs plus whatever it gets during normal fish feedings (it's pretty much always open for feeding). My big concerns are adding that so much food will give me nutrient problems on my 28 gallon tank. I do religious PWC's and I also run a AquaC Remora skimmer modded to fit the Nanocube with about 50 lbs LR in the display with LR rubble and Matrix in the rear "sump"/overflow area. I've been keeping a very close eye on my parameters with no noticable Amm/Ni/Na.
Even after feeding the 2 cubes of food, it opens back up like it wants more. Will a sun coral stay closed when it's "full" or how do you know if your feedings are sufficient other than seeing tissue recession due to underfeeding?
