• Plankton Live, Natural - made it myself.

Here is the English translation: The circumstances were such that I had to incubate Artemia eggs. Offtopic is written and rewritten on how to do this and whether light is needed there - that's not the point. So what I want to ask experienced people - this is Plankton - Living - Natural - what feeds the reef and its inhabitants - and the niches of the aquarium are surrogate mothers - maybe it makes sense to grow plankton and add it to our "matrices"??? It's just a matter of water from the aquarium + a 1-2 watt microcompressor and Artemia eggs - 1-2-3 days and it's ready. Stop the supply-drain - leave the streams - sprinkle the plankton - its streams will spread it throughout the aquarium - those who need it will eat it. This is a natural product akin to the reef!!! The following questions are of interest: - how long to turn off the pumps-filters, i.e. what is the digestibility time of this stuff by organisms??? - who can be a consumer of such food? Fish, invertebrates, LPS...? - and most importantly - what benefit can this bring? Or systematicity-periodicity, so that there is a benefit? - volumes of plankton cultivation, for example, in rough terms for a 100 liter, with an average population of consumers of this stuff? PS. And how do fish like plankton??? I mean macrophytes and alg

There may be a benefit if you shape the aquarium for non-photosynthetic organisms.

I read that photosynthetic plankton also consume when zooxanthellae rebel - when there is little light, the current is weak, for example, or just when they are a bit unwell.

but you are fine..................

What do you mean by "normal"? I want it to be even more normal. A couple of days ago, your red frags (thank you very much for the gift) started acting up; they have grown three times since you brought them. But suddenly they started to "pulse"... I approach, and they release polyps, then I come back in five minutes, and they’ve hidden away, leaving just the white skeleton. In the evening, I fed the inhabitants - Artemia + Cyclops (frozen) and suddenly, right before my eyes, they released polyps again - they probably want to eat.

Is it better to give it at night or during the night? Should I turn off the sump filter or not? And how to control the amount??? What signs should I look for to determine this? Anatoliy - so what is this period? An hour, two, three, a day? And the main question - is it worth the hassle??? Will the effect be noticeable???

If you want to feed at night, feed those who are revealed, especially the non-photogenic ones. During the day, you can feed anyone. Sanya, I already wrote what to do before feeding. Controlling the amount means giving the minimum that guarantees you cleanliness and order with the parameters in your aquarium; you decide that for yourself. But you should try it yourself, and then you'll see...
