Can they survive just off krill?

I feed my corals krill but wanted to know if they need more then that.
I use all the liquid stuff like calcium, iron and stuff like that.

best to give your critters (fish/corals) variety.
I would go to your grocery store, at the seafood counter and just get one piece of each of the different raw seafood they have then chop it up into bits and feed the tank. your fish and corals are not going to be as healthy as possible without feeding them a variety. I would also add some cyclops to the tank for the planktonic feeders.
Stuff to buy at grocery store: raw shrimp, fish, swordfish, tilapia, octopus, scallops, lobster, shark etc. whatever they have!
Good Luck!

Are you also feeding other livestock in your tank? Some people seem to want to make this hobby as difficult as it can be. If your corals look good, and have looked good for a while, stop worrying. Judging by your avitar, you probably don't live real close to an ocean, don't worry about making home made food if you consider that to be a little too much of an investment.

HAHA actually i live in Oregon.
That sounds like a good idea to get some stuff and just blend it and then freeze it.
