For the Red Sea additives, as mentioned I use their RE ABC+ which is just one tub of all ABC elements and some trace elements mixed in the same ratios as found in croal skeletons. It has done a fantastic job of bringing my CAL levels to where I want (420ish) while also keeping all the other elements and alk in line with the calcium level. If I had a bigger system I would go with the regular A and B system but the ABC+ was designed for system under 55gal so it work for me.
As for Reef Chilli, I have been using this for 3-4 months now. All my zoas and palys respond well to it, grab and closing around the small particles, I sometimes mix it in the same cup as mysis as the paly's also like to eat mysis. I have seen nothing but great color on all my frags and good growth on most of them, especially the reds and pinks. I also cloud my SPS with the reef chilli when spot feeding and it seems to also love the extra sustenance, as well as softies and acans. I was also using 2little fishes phytoplankton, but it is not phyto and zoo like reef chilli is (AFAIK) so I have only used it here and there a bit, the coral seems to like it as well but probably not as beneficial as the chilli. And yes my skimmer goes crazy when I feed plankton as well as all the microfauna in the tank. |

While not really a zoa or soft coral food, my duncans and the larger paly's will readily eat New Life spectrum Thera+A fish food with gusto if it drifts into their tentacles. It's usually too large for the Zoanthids to take in. I have started to use Oyster feast (starting last week) and really can't tell if the zoas get anything from it or not. They close up, but I don't know if that is a feeding reaction or just a reaction to having a jet of water on them from the tube. I try to be as gentle as possible.

What zoanthids are you talking about?
What "stuff" did you feed? Grandis.

I've tried Life spectrum Pellets before and my palythoas and Zoanthus gigantus (so called "PEs") eat them. Smaller zoanthids weren't interested as much, of course. I don't offer LP pellets anymore, but still feed my fishes. Good food!! As for the Oyster Feast I noticed that it would benefit more algae then my polyps, therefore I no longer use OF. Grandis.
