Favorite food (for your tank) and why.

[MechaSamurai]

I'm just curious what everyone likes to feed, how often, and WHY. Before anyone barks about searching I didn't find many explanations, mostly just lists.

I feed sprinkles of Omega-One "Supper Veggie" flakes, 5ml of PhytoFeast, and a small chunk of frozen PEMysis shrimp once a night.

The Supper Veggie was a recommendation from a LFS and the guy I got the tank from. It has good specs and my fish seam to like it.
The PhytoFeast is mainly for the tube-worm and other various (tiny) fans, dusters and sponges.
The frozen mysis shrimp is to fatten-up my orange-spotted/Diamond/sleeper Goby and I use PEMysis because the other brands (cubes) were loaded with "moisture" and this one is loaded with protein and fat.

My tank:
55g, no sump, HOB skimmer (CPR Bakpak) and mechanical filtration (Penguin170 w/BIOwheel)
My Livestock:
2 clowns, foxface-rabbitfish, firefish, diamond goby, tube-worm (feather duster), sebae anemone, spider conch, snails, crabs, and corals.

I used Rods food, my fish/coral/inverts go crazy over it. It has everything in 1 bag.

 

[barometer]

daily or every other day frozen PE Mysis for protein (brine mixed in 'cause the fishies like it )
Cyclopeeze, prawn eggs, Coral Frenzy once a week (particulate foods for corals)
daily live phyto in the fuge for pods and such
Spectrum Thera A+ and MarineGro pellets for in between times
nori once in a while for Dori

I like to use the 3 50/50 frozen cubes and 1 cube cyclops for my filter feeders. I feed my fish the cubes every night
