Best pellet food?
 

I have fed a variety of pellet foods, but not sure which is the most nutritious or healthiest for my fish. I don't just trust ingredient labels. Also, which pellet foods are OK to feed corals, like Sun Corals and Dendros?

Considering all my costs, food is probably near the bottom. So I might as well try to get the best for my livestock.

What do you use, and why?

I have always liked Ocean Nutrition Formula One Marine pellets. All my fish, including mandarins, have eaten them and any corals I have had that ate something.

+1, but can't find them in store anymore? Anyone know where to get some?

I used Formula One for a long time too. Red Coral was the only place in town that I knew of that carried it for some reason. When I ran out I switched to NLS (New Life Spectrum) marine pellets. My fish seem to like them just the same.

I just looked. Seems no where that I bought them before. Thats strange?

Ya they changed the importing laws and now we can't get formula one across the border anymore..... Look at the new era line of foods

Can't seem to find that one anywhere around here (Vancouver) either.

Thanks Doug! I can sleep easier now knowing that I can stop searching! Seriously Doug this is why we need you around, to tell us these things!

I don't use pellets anymore.. I have gone to Marine Munchies.. all my fish go crazy for it.. http://reefmunchies.com/marine-munchies

I feed nls. Fish love it

Big fan of New Era food.

new era is mine and the fishes favorite
they go for it more than any other ive tried
its not bone dry like other pellets
to bad i cant find it in victoria anymore :cry:

King Ed pets still carries oceans nutrition pellets. I think Ron brings them up from the u.s. on his buying trips

I've been using New Life Spectrum 1mm pellets for a couple of years, fed with an auto-feeder every day. Don't know if it's the best, but it sinks, all the fish eat it (except the copper band, I'm hoping he'll eventually figure it out) and it feeds my brain corals which have learned to open themselves up about an hour before the food drops.

50/50 mix of New Era Marine & Algea pellets, fish go bonkers for it & small fish can easily nibble of pieces because it's soft pellets.
