I have 99.9% SPS coral but I feed twice per week a mixture of"

Seachem Reef Plus
DT's
Coral Frenzy
Frozen Cyclopeeze
Selcon

I turn off the return from the sump pumps but leave on the Koralia's in the tank for 1/2 to 1 hour.

You do know that coral are photosynthetic and the best thing you can feed them is light correct?

That's all I feed my corals as well. Good water quality/parameters and lighting is all that is needed.

Dr. G's Live Phytoplankton, but don't overstock cause needs to be refrigerated and still only has shelf life about 2 months.
