Best Flake Food?

Hi All, Just wondering if there is a consenus #1 flake food out there. I am currently feeding mostly frozen mysis and cyclopeeze, some pellets and flakes. I have 2 tomato clowns, YWG, one spot foxface, evans anthias. I am just looking to supplement with some high quality flake and looking for advice. Oh, almost forgot, also clip in some nori for the foxface.

I like Ocean Nutrition Formula One or their Prime Reef. I don't feed flake often, I prefer pellets but do feed flake once or twice a week. Cyclop-eeze comes in a flake form as well. I use that occasionally as well.

Personally, i don't feed any flakes (know a few, though). Just too much wast with flakes and so much good variety in other forms of food.

I've been having really good results with Cobalt Aquatics Brine shrimp flakes, great for onivores; was thinking of giving ON Prime Reef flakes a try too.

I currently have Omega One Marine Flakes with Garlic (the garlic is claimed by some to stimulate appetite). I only use flakes once or twice a week at most. I usually use them to show people that I can have my clownfish eat out of my fingers (people think its pretty cool, heck I do too).
