I feed my SPS AI LED lighting and the whatever they pick out of the water column. Calcium, Alk and Mag dosing.
As for my sea fan, I spot feed him reef roids.

IMO, adding food for SPS does nothing but pollute the water, making colors a bit less vibrant. I feel they get enough from the light and the fish, I add nothing else (I do add Zeo additives, but not really a food)

With the zeo additives are you running full zeo? I'm trying to color my sps up.

Yes, kinda. I forget a lot, so I often don't agitate the rocks or dose the drops. Still get great results

Further, if you're struggling to get color, adding food might go in the opposite direction for you. Look at nutrient reduction and lighting first.

Same here, don't feed any thing special excpet for zeovit amino acid, coral vitalizer, and sponge power. I don't think they count as a source of food. I do not run zeovit rock but pellets instead. Strong lighting and fish poop should be good enough for SPS IMO.
