Latest Best Flake Food?
 
I'll start off by saying I'm not a huge fan of flake food, but it seems my fish are telling me otherwise. I regularly feed frozen (LRS, mysis, etc) but when I'm away for a few days I'm trying to figure out what is best for the tank from the auto-feeder.
I have new life spectrum pellets in the auto feeder right now but the issue is not all my fish go for them. Also, once they come from the feeder, they just immediately sink behind the rocks and no one notices 90% of them.
I've been test feeding formula 2 flakes and all fish go nuts for them. They also float around and the fish are able to eat them from the surface instead of them mostly sinking behind the rocks right away.

I know there are a lot of threads already on this but I've not seen anything with a current date. I dont know if new stuff has come out so I was curious if there was a decent flake food out now.

In addition to the formula 1 and 2, Ocean nutrition also makes prime reef flakes that are decent.

I really like New Era flakes..Move your auto feeder near a powerhead and see if that works for you.

I wish I could but the canopy design wont allow for it. The canopy is a roll top that sits on top of the tank. The only opening to allow the feeder is at the rear.

I'm a huge fan of omega one products myself, they have a marine flake with garlic and a super vegetable flake that I alternate between.

spectrum flake food is the best ive tried. not many aqua shops carry it most likely because its expensive. just like their pellets (which my fish only get once a week, otherwise they ll get strungout on them) the fish love spectrum foods. its like crack for them i guess

Love the whole ocean nutrition line of pellets and flakes.
