Ultra clam. My sps ... And other corals... Love it.

I agree that fish poop and lighting is usually enough BUT, if you want the super bright colors and fast growth, you should feed a little. "little" being the key word. If I were to choose 1 food, id say ZEOvit Coral Snow.

I was looking at the zeo products and the cost is ridiculous, I couldn't even imagine the cost to run full zeo.

Well, you don't use all the stuff

I use only a few, plus rocks. Ya, it costs a bit per year, but well worth it in my tank.

What would you recommend for a sps tank? Not sure if this matters but I run biopellets.

Not sure if they're compatible. I run about 1.5L of rock, and I dose amino acids, coral vitalizer, Zeobak, Zeofood7 and Zeostart2.
Based on dosages from G. Alexander, I buy these about once a year. I forget to dose a lot too

Overall, it's a cost that I have to factor into my annual bills, but I have the nicest tank I've had in 12 years of reef keeping. Probably not all due to Zeo, but it helps.
You also can eliminate a couple of those supps, further reducing costs. Save up, buy once a year on boxing day.
