With the emphasis on regularity and stability, isn't there an emphasis on auto feeding, which requires pellets?

I run an auto feeder twice daily and put a small amount of LRS Reef Frenzy in daily. I don't feel bad if I miss a day (or a weekend) of frozen since the auto feeder gives pellets. I also supplement with coral nutrition dosing.

I feed both as I have fishes that favor one more than the other. In my opinion, I feed what my fish respond best to. They typically go nuts over frozen food and live blackworms. The majority of my fish eat it the dry food, while the others just look around.

Giving both. Ocean nutrition formula 1 and 2 also spirulina and krill of ON for the dry food. As for frozen i use my mix of crabs, clams, squid with AF garlic and salifert coral food all mixed up.
