Going on a 2 week vacation in December, have somebody watching my tank, looking for a pellet food to feed while I’m gone. Couple of fish (fire fish, chromies, black cardinal), a Duncan, 2x mushroom, pulsing Xenia, a monty, birds nest, some green polyps, and various snails and crabs.
I feed frozen mysis and bribe, but don’t want to ask my friend to cut up frozen shrimp! Looking for recommendations for some pellet food she can just drop in every couple days. Thanks guys!

Two quick suggestions. First, BRS has a fairly new video on “best” dry fish food. I think they like PE mysis and CD Crossover for example. CD Crossover is interesting as it includes coral food too. Second, take a look at the Eheim autofeeder. I’ve used one for years on a freshwater tank, and am installing one on Reefer over vacation .

Our TDO Chroma BOOST is a great option. It was just recently named "Best in Show" by Bulk Reef Supply, as well as being include in the "Best of 2019" list.

Here is the link to the video:

We have many customers that use in an auto-feeder with no issues. I recommend TDO Small for the fish you described. Your corals will eat it, as well. This product has a 1 year shelf-life and comes in a 3 oz. package. It's a lot of food, so you should not go through it quickly.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Best,
Chad

Yes! My apologies for not including TDO!

I'm a huge fan of TDO. It's the only dry fish food that I use in my tank.

I realize this is a dead thread, but what type/size of your food for a pair of clowns? Mainly the size I'm looking for. I have really small diameter New Life Spectrum, and I ran out of the larger size, which they seemed to prefer. Note, my larger one is a fatty.

I recommend TDO Medium for your clownfish. It is 1.7mm.
