Question Too many types of food

Help! There are so many types of food available for different creatures that I'm lost before I've even really started as far as feeding goes. There are a hundred brands/variations of flakes, pellets, frozen brine, frozen mysis, phytoplankton, zooplankton etc. Can anyone give me some ideas about what would be a good 1 or 2 food combo to feed a tank of primarily soft corals/fish?

Thanks,

Ray

Ok here is what i found that works pretty good. I use a combination of "Formula 2" and "Reef Prime flakes". Once and a while i also feed them some "frozen cube Reef Prime". As for the coral, other week i feed them "Bioplankton" and "Coral Plankton".
