I have a 75g sps dominated tank running a vertex reactor with 1000ml of pellets, I don't notice a slow down of the growth on my sps since starting the pellets. I only feed the fishes once a week with pei mysis and as much as they can eat and feed the anemone at the same time aswell.

I believe the pellets don't slow down growth on sps, but calcium does!
As for feeding sps, it's not needed but it does help to feed them if you have the time. The best time to feed them is 2 hrs after the lights are off, the sps have crazy polyp extension at night. I use to feed zooplankton, phytoplankton, reef roids and cyclopeze but got lazy and haven't done it in a year.
