Anyone use "Reef Chili" to feed their tanks?I am trying it,I like it because it's a powder you mix with your tank water then you can "spot feed" each coral if you like or just dump it in after rehydrating.Says it has zooplankton,spray-dried photoplankton,rotifers,copepods,artemia nauplii replacement diet(1 to 50 microns)artemia nauplii replacement diet(50 to100 microns),dried daphnia,spirulina powder.
I haven't been feeding my tank anything but this stuff for 2 weeks and everything looks good so far.The fish,corals and clam all seem to respond to it and my water parameters are all ok.
I was just wondering if anyone else was using this stuff and what their results were.
 
I try it all & spot feed everything that eats. You need lots of different-sized foods to feed your tank, not just the tiny stuff. I make a nice slurry, starting with Rod's Food, I add mysis shrimp & blackworms I have defrosted (cometimes chopped krill too) drained & then soaked overnight in Selcon & DT's phytoplankton. Then I add Marine Snow, DT's oyster eggs, Coral Frenzy, & a squirt of Phytomax & Chromamax & whatever I have left over, like sometimes I have some Daphnia or Cyclopseeze I got from someone or something new someone want's me to try. I mix it all up with some tank water & everyone's happy!

I feed after just the actinics are on in the evening. I turn off all pumps for an hour or 2 & unplug the skimmer until morning, so the corals that open at night can eat too.
 
As far as I can tell, my zoas do not eat food. My palys like the meatier-type foods, like mysis shrimp. Since it is a FW food, it should be pre-soaked in Selcon.
