I'm looking into getting Red Sea’s reef energy A and B. It’s got aminos, carbs, vitamins, etc. Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions on this and/or other products?

Brine lacks nutrition so I wouldn’t rely on it. I believe mysis is too big for SPS polyps to eat? I feed LRS reef frenzy but I can’t say for sure if there is enough aminos for them to eat.

Anyone have any thoughts about vitamins that corals need that can’t synthesized by corals themselves? Will food provide every nutrient needed?
The ocean is huge and has lots of organisms that we can’t get in our tanks. No way we can replicate that food chain. We probably only feed a limited number of types of organisms to our tanks. While we can keep them healthy and alive, it’s hit or miss. This one is healthy so far. Hope to keep it that way.If they can't synthesize it then they have to acquire it from their environment.
How do corals on wild reefs do this?
Are these nutrients limiting coral growths in our tanks?
I don't know, but corals do have mouths for intake, and fish poop seems like a good place to start.
That’s exactly what I’m doing now. Down to the T. I have to say LRS is the best thing I’ve used in my tank. Been using at least 4 months now. Fish are healthy and fat. Only one LPS loss in that period.I personally only broadcast feed LRS reef frenzy to my tank.
Nutrients in the form of Nitrates and Phosphates, proper light spectrum and intensity, proper flow and stable water parameters, good salt mix that's balanced in elements and some fish poo, will turn into sugars that will feed the zooxanthellae algae within the tissue of the coral. Do all that consistently, you will grow healthy coral.

I actually emailed them to thank them for their product. When I was feeding my two sons milk formula, I was happy too. And never did I email those companies to thank them for their products ;HilariousIt's good stuff for fish and corals. Flipper approved! Lol!

I’d volunteer to work for free. I’ll even do the grunt work!Larry is a good guy. I follow him and LRS on FB. He frequently smokes meat or BBQ's personally for his staff for lunch! Man, I'd work for him making fish food just to eat lunch! Lol!
