Reef roids or reef chilli

In the opinions of refers which is the best coral food? Thinking of trying chilli but as its imported to UK its quite expensive. Any suggestions please?

Either one is fine and more than sufficient for providing food to corals (that really don't need to be fed in the first place)..
It doesn't make any sense to purchase an expensive/harder to get one..

Yeah I saw that.. Getting a new house is always fun but the actual moving process is a pain in the rear...

Seeing as you tank hasn't been established for a long time helps but its still quite a bit of work..

One tip.. Watch your phosphate levels (and even nitrates) often times coral foods can increase them due to over use,etc...

Corals do not need to be fed. They can do just fine on light (photosynthesis) and nutrients (PO4 and NO3). Iff you want some I have some to sell that has been sitting in my cupboard for a few years, when I got suckered in to feeding them. Both Reef Roid and Reef Chili.
