I’m now starting to buy a decent amount of corals and I think I should start feeding them. I’m definitely going to get some amino acids. I need a food. I’m thinking either coral feast, reef chili, or ab+. What are your experiences with these? I have some euphyllia, shrooms, acans, gsp, and many zoas. What should I feed along with the amino acids?

I use reef energy, brightwell coral amino, and tetraselmis phytoplankton (live). However, I prefer meaty food or pellets (or flakes) for my lps).
 
I have very similar coral, plus macro algae. I feed meat frozen, both carnivore and green frozen, flakes, pellets, and Red Sea reef energy coral nutrition. I also have 16 fish contributing fish poo. I can feed very heavy because my tank is 4 years old (and the live rock is 20 years old) and well established. My phosphates are kind of high but my system can handle the nutrients. If your tank is fairly new, keep an eye on your phosphates and nitrates so you do not run into a nutrient issue that fuels nuisance algae.
 
So I use Fuel, Phyto, Marine Snow, Cyclopeze, and Fish Poo.
Add one each second day, fish take care of poo distribution

I dose brightwell amino.

For large mouth lps (euphyllia, acan, blasto, lobo, duncan) i feed mysis and coral frenzy pallet.

Small mouth lps and sps I feed them reefroid - either paste fir target feed or "soup" for more broadcast feed.
 
Reefroids twice a week. Can't get easier. The thing about feeding is that you get annoyed of it and ends up stopping. gotta keep it simple. here it is https://amzn.to/3aBY3oV
