Filter Feeding Help

Hey all. I have been having good success with my softies over the last couple years and have started this past month adding LPSs. I have an 80 and a 55. Water conditions have been optimal. I feed Kent Phytoplex and Zooplex 2-3 times a week. I'm hearing there are better products (actually, I have heard some negative things about these products too).
I'm leaning on adding to the feeding rotation something else. The LPSs that I have added seem to be doing VERY well. I'm thinking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" but at the same time, is there a "better" filter feeding solution?
What about oyster eggs? (I can only find them frozen).
Reef Roids?
MarineSnow?
Other products?
THANKS ALL!

There is coral frenzy which has oyster larvea in it and it is very easy to dose. It is a powder and you can mix it with phytoplankton or a trace element, or just tank water.
I have had pretty good results for it and my corals AND my inverts LOVE it!
I have heard some bad stuff about reef roids. I have not used it though, so I only speak from what I have heard.

Thanks rlablan! You put a KEY word in there. "EASY."
I really want to try the Oyster Eggs but the only way I have seen it sold is frozen and LFSs here don't know about it much carry it.
I'll look into the Coral Frenzy. If it is EASY to do, I will be much more likely to be consistant.
Anyone else?
THANKS!

Yeah I like to dump it in sometimes after mixing it with something, or I make it in a little bowl and then just spot feed the little guys that I want to grow more. I just sort of squirt it in their general area (after turning off the flow) and then I just let it set for about 20 minutes or so, then turn the flow back on.
Also, If it were me, I would try to oyster eggs. If they are at an LFS, it means they're fish grade and I don't think it could hurt. If anything, I bet the fish would love them!
