i think i am going to try 2 or 3 tablespoons of table sugar since it is eatable and mix that with 2 gallons of RO water. not trying to make the stuff super sweat but want to know that it is being added maybe do it weekly. still reasearching this before i crash my damn tank......

I haven't heard about adding sugar water before but I suppose it makes sense because most corals consume the sugars produced during the photosynthetic process from the algae that lives within them. Maybe try to replicate the type of sugars produced by the zooanthallae. It is an interesting theory. I'll be interested in hearing about your results. How did you come up with the idea?
