Flakes are by far the superior option for full tank feeding vs. pellets.
flakes when broken up under water spread to the entire water column and make sure even the most shy fish have an opportunity to eat while pellets fall in a singular location for a few aggressive feeders to destroy in two seconds.
with appropriate flow all excess flake ends up in a filter roll/sock while pellets can rot.
any un-eaten pellet food is more dense than the sand bed causing it to just get buried with a gravel vac.
The one benefit to a pellet is it’s nutritional values are higher.
pellets seem to be the most popular dry food in our hobby and I want to know why
