Rod's original is a good all in one food, but it makes a terrible mess in your tank if you have a lazy cleanup crew. The best food for you could be different than for someone else. It depends on what your tank needs are. I feed spectrum pellets and coral frenzy as my staples. Maybe be once per week I'll do frozen Rods Original.

If I could only feed my fish one food for the rest of their lives, it would be New Life Spectrum pellets. Hands down.

I could NEVER get my fish to eat it. What's the secret?

If they're hungry enough, they'll eat anything.
In all seriousness, mine have always gone nuts for it. If I recall, weren't you a strictly PE Mysis guy? If I were one of your fish, I'd hold out for mysis too instead of a lame dry pellet! :lol:

Ah yes, going from caviar to Mac n Cheese wont do. Well see how they ate after being in a back room tank at ABC Reefs for 6 mos. They'll be begging for the pellets...
I make my own food. That is the staple food of my fish and corals.
Shrimp, squid, clam, fish, scallops, brine shrimp, cyclopeeze, and nori (if I have a tang or other veggie lover). Chop everything up really fine and throw in some selcon/vita chem/etc. Put it in zip-top plastic baggies and lay them flat. Only put enough in the baggies to make them 1/4"-3/8" thick.
I throw in Formula 1 and 2 pellets in every once in a while, but my fish get this frozen food most days. I have yet to find a fish that doesn't like my mix. My female ocellaris clown sucks the food right out of the turkey baster.

+55 to NLS!
Best frozen all in one food is roggers reef food. No questions asked. Ingredients are better than Rods reef food.
Other than nls, just feed a mix, try to get as much natural algae and copepods etc into your tank for the best supplements to NLS.
