In your (meaning everyone's) opinion, what is the best brand of coral food for LPS?

100% live, Home grown phytoplankton, cultured to perfection.

 

Then there's the alternatives...

 

DT's chilled phyto

Oyster eggs

Home made shrimp/scallop/oyster mixes etc.

I gotta try that someday, but until then, I like Rod's Coral Blend and Reef Science Plankton (live cultures).

What type LPS? Most LPS are going to appreciate larger food items...

So I should feed LPS larger food items but also phytoplankton?

Should I mention that you shouldn't feed just one type of food, but a variety?

 

large pieces of food like home made blends, enriched brine and mysis are great for feeding LPS, and the phyto fills in the gaps between other feedings. :D just a theory.
