What are you guys feeding? My tank wants me to be ULNS but I can't have that.
I feed a lot of frozen, flake and pellets. Recently I started adding Benepets a couple times a week.
Frozen- I feed Mysis (a few diff kinds), Cyclops, Spiralina Brine, and Fish Eggs. I have tried Calanus but the fish don't seem to like it.
Formula 2 Flakes and whatever pellets I have on hand.
What about to feed your corals? Oyster Feast? Phyto? Reef Roids? Curious what you all feed your tanks.

I like feeding Rods and seen corals react really well with Oyster Feast. A little goes a long way with Oyster feast and I don't recommend broadcast feeding as it can make your tank smell very oceany.

I get a mix of clams, muscles, abalone etc, chop it up, mix in some spirulina brine shrimp or LRS(whatever I happen to have) and selcon then freeze it laying flat in a ziploc bag. Then I just break off little pieces to feed the fish as well as the corals. I also sometimes feed some TDO pellets to the pistol shrimp. As well as feeding BBS daily.

Anyone have info on rods and hikari? Heard rods used to source ingredients from hikari but not anymore and that rods does not sterilize their product but the new hikari carnivore and herbivore does. Not sure if true or significant.

No idea about Rod's but I know LRS sterilizes then adds in pro-biotics.
