I current feed my takes 3 times week. Oyster eggs one day, mysis shrimp one day, and powder reef chili on the third day. What are you guys feed your reef tanks and how often? I only target feed scans and dendro's. Do you guys target feed everything?
 
I feed rotifers, mysis, phyto, reef chili, reef crack, coral smoothie, spectrum pellets and algae(there may be a few that I am forgetting). I use selcon and garlic for additives. I feed every two to three days. I only target feed the reef chili and coral smoothie. No set one I choose on which day I just grab one that catches my eye.

How do you like that coral smoothie? I currently spot feed the fish almost every day (they eat out of the turkey baster like a mysis nipple). I spot feed the acans and torch fauna marin LPS pellets every few days. I also every once and a while target feed the zoas with fauna marin Zoa food. I broadcast feed coral frenzy about once a week. KZ coral vitalizer before hand to get the polyps out.
 
I haven't had it very long. But it seems to be good stuff.
