Are there any SPS tanks out there that are NOT adding coral food supplements?

[kien]

I'm mostly curious about those running SPS tanks that are NOT using supplements like Zeo or UltraLight additives or coral foods like cyclopeze, coral frenzy etc.. This thread isn't meant to debate the merits of any of these additives. Again, just curious to see if anyone is successful without feeding their corals. What I'm wondering I guess is whether or not I am delusion in thinking that I can get away with not feeding my corals and just letting them live off of photosynthesis and fish poop.

I don't feed my corals anything on a regular basis. Every once in a blue moon I throw in some product I've been sucked into buying. I wouldn't exactly say I've been "successful" either. Just determined

I don't add any supplements of any type and I like to think I'm successful

I did for a year. Than i was disappointed with the colors i was getting and growth. I can tell you that after only a few weeks of using zeo products my colors have enhanced and growth had increased

oh and i dose rotifeast and oyster feast once a week

Of course you can keep SPS without feeding anything extra. I go months without feeding when I'm not into it. Feeding just makes the corals healthier IMO.

I feed Coral Frenzy BTW..... most of the time.

Nope, dont dose any in my sps tank but then perhaps thats why it does not look like Doug,s either.

No coral specific food in my reef either
