good quality fish food=good quality fish poop
good quality fish poop=good quality bits in the tank water (that doesn't get skimmed out) that your SPS corals have access too...voila SPS food!
(but of course DO NOT feed extra to your fish). If there is one thing to take from my ramble it's this---Get a handle on keeping your nutrients low, and on keeping your Calcium, KH, Magnesium in the correct zones. This is actually the MOST important for the SPS corals anyway!!! Good luck, you will do great; especially with canreefers in your corner!
