Looking for food recommendations to help supplement normal fish feedings for LPS and SPS corals. Looking to feed them 1-2x/week via feeding tube.

There are so many options and I would like something to help them.

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using oyster feast to stimulate a feeding reaction

Reef roids are pretty solid, depends on what type of "nutrition" you mean though, you can also use something like Reef Energy AB+
*I have used/use both and like them.

Benereef has given me really good results with my LPS, as far as SPS I have heard great things about Acropower amino acids, but currently I use AB+ from Red Sea until I switch over to that.
I might note that with Benereef you will likely experience less Nutrient spikes as you would with reef roids. Although it’s not non existent. But you’ll be able to use a larger amount of that without such a drastic effect.

For my smaller-polyp LPS, softies and few SPS I have been using Brightwell's Reef Blizzard "S" and a bit of SFB frozen red calanus reef plankton, soaked for 5 min in a small cupful of tank water with a few drops of Brightwell's CoralAmino. For other LPS I do the same but sub mysis shrimp in for the Reef Blizzard. Full disclosure: I battle phosphate, but my corals appear happy.
