Your corals won't be harmed by not feeding, so try that for a while...

Hey! That's what I was trying to say, Brad just did it better!

SPS success is all about removing nutrients to the extreme. Most people are not good enough at removing nutrients to such an extreme that feeding the SPS corals becomes necessary.
