I've had reefs for a few years and am starting over with a much larger reef now, a 340 Gallon display. So far cycles are done, algae cycle is starting, and just have 7 fish in the display so far and no corals.
Adding fish slowly and in a month or so I'll start adding corals in.
What is the best food to feed. I have a very young Dragon Wrasse that is awesome to watch. a couple oscillerus clowns and some pajama cardinals, and a royal gramma. I plan to add a black tang, possibly some bellas angels, and a combination of herbivores and carnivores.
I used to feed flake food religiously and always had luck with lazy eaters that didn't swim after pellet food, they'd go after flake food that floated by.
some people say flake food is horrible, but if there's finicky eaters, I find it's much easier to get fish to eat flake than pellet food. I once had a marine beta that wouldn't touch pellets with a ten foot pole, but stick flake food in with my fingers and he came up to me eating from my fingers.
He loved it. I mix in some selcon soaked frozen mysis / brine now and then to boost their health.
Is flake truly terrible for reef fish?
That is the question? Obviously frozen is probably going to retain more nutrients. We can do some amazing thing with flake food though?
Just curious....
