Looking for dry pellet recommendations.

Reef Box · Sep 8, 2018

Need to get some thoughts on a food I can use to supplement the medicated frozen foods that I'm currently feeding my QT and HT . I am using a combination of mysis, formula one and formula two treated with meds for my fish in observation and treatment. I'd like to add some variety as well as a couple more small feedings throughout the day with something that is not medicated to balance out feedings that will not put a heavy impact on the bio filter since I only have a HOB filter on the tanks. I bought some Cobalt Marine Omni flakes today. When I fed, the fish went crazy but then didn't actually eat any of it. Currently have Green Chromis, Percula Clowns, Melanarus Wrasse and Powder Blue Tang. Any Thoughts? TIA!

I buy the PE pellets and my fish have loved them. Made the switch from frozen to pellet within 2 days of getting them and in QT.

New Life Spectrum pellets.

I use NLS as well and works great. Depending on what pellet size you get a feeding ring maybe warranted as they do not float immediately per say.

What's the differences in NLS and Omega One? As far as preferences.... why would you chose one over the other?

I just read reviews from people that seemed to be held up as knowledgeable when I was looking. I've stuck with it ever since.

I'd highly recommend TDS chroma boost by reef nutrition

I like Neptune crossover diet- it works really well and my fish love it!

I personally love a good variety of pellets. I really like the Easy Reefs pellets, Panta Nori Sponge and Polyp for angels (everyone else eats it too), PE pellets/flakes, and some Fauna Marin as well.

my fish LOVE the PE mysis pellets. new life spectrum is very well regarded as very high quality food.

don't just pick one brand, feed them several different kinds.

my tank gets PE pellets, flake, reef frenzy, and chopped shrimp and cod.

Thanks for all the feedback. I ended up picking up some of the PE Pellets, NLS all purpose and some Hikari Marine. They didn’t have much liking for the NLS but loved the other 2

I mix up between the PE and Hikari and my fish and corals love it. Just remember that a pellets are much more dense in nutrients and if you over feed they will spike your peramters. I put in extra one day before going on vacation and the wife had the same idea and we can home from our weekend trip to a GHA mess. The only positive that came out of that was I finally convinced her into letting me get a Tang lol.
