    i feed a variety of foods in my tanks. I use Rods majority of the time, but also use a combination of oysterfeast, rotifeast, ovafeast, phytopheast, mysis etc. We did large water changes and have an over abundance of clean up crew in our tanks. However we had a variety of corals, including photo and nonphoto corals as well as LPS etc.

    Hi Steve!!!

    Back to the topic, if you have majority of 1 type of coral,ie chalice or you dont have a lot of coral, i would use an all in one product. I would suggest Coral Freenzy IMO has everything most corals will need. It will have meaty food, dried phyto, etc. I also swear by using Rods food to feed your fish in addition. The original formula contains coral food in it. Just dont overfeed any product you use. I turn off my pumps and do target feeding to maximize the corals getting the food more
