Not too sophisticated. I use a mix of frozen foods; mysis, San Francisco Angel and Butterfly Mix, Reef Plankton, Emerald Entree, Squid, Clam, Mussel, some Tropic Marin Zoo Plankton, Cyclopeeze mixed with garlic and selcon. I mix a row of each cube in saltwater so the food doesn't float.
I feed daily, sometimes 2x a day. The way my flow works all the LPS wind up catching food. I do believe in target feeding LPS, but I haven't done much lately. When I do the scoly and cyanaria get whole silversides, the frogs and hammers get chunks of krill or mysis.

I put some thought into my flow setup to favor my Euphyllia and I think it works.
My return runs a little shy of 300gph. I have 2 K4's for laminar flow across the back. 4 maxijets are controlled by an AC3 for surge. They are pointed from the back to the opposite corner. 2 right and 2 left so they cross the streams. I cycle the ones in the middle 1 minute on and 4 minutes off for one and 1 minute on and 5 minutes off for the other. The other pair runs 1 minute on and 9 minutes off and 1 minutes on and 11 minutes off.
So each side gets both maxi jets on at the sametime every other cycle, the sides alternate at changing intervals, and once an hour we get a perfect storm with all the powerheads on at once.
The way it works out is the front has a gentle continual flow with random surges of varying intensity; hopefully like they would get in a real lagoon.

That's incredible. What's the hot pink bubble coral looking thing in the middle?
It's actually a doughnut coral. Cynaria Lacrymalis

Most of my acans were purchased from Oakville Reef Gallery. Tom has been keeping us happy with Aussie shipments

She's just been set up, and technically it's "NPS dominated," but...
