They assert that they are feeding a variety of prepared foods.
I think a better solution would be a live food culturing system as has been discussed by Dwayne Sapp on RC and in RK Mag. His ideas are also labour intensive but I think the potential benefits of a stable live food source would be worthwhile especially for particularly demanding livestock (mandarins, seahorses). http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-07/ds/index.htm http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-07/nftt/ It seems to me that if one were so inclined, it would be possible to culture all the necessary foodstuffs for your tank. I expect it would be quite easy to farm various types of algae (including but not limited to caulerpa), and maintain either a culturing system as discussed above or a large refugium for feeder microfauna. One would need excellent filtration systems, however, as well-fed fish tend to produce a lot of waste.
