I spot feed once a week with reef roids(just started doing this a few weeks ago after watching the vid posted on the first page), and one other day a week I mix some PE Mysis, reef chili, and some LRS and broadcast feed the entire tank.

I do get a better feeding response when I feed roids, but I wonder if it's just because I'm spot feeding and not broadcast feeding?

I feed reef roids daily. Iv never used reef chili, it might be great but I heard good things about roids so went with that.

I have used both and always had algae issues if I used it frequently. I started using BeneReef a couple months ago and love it so far. I can feed two or three times a week without increasing phosphate or nitrate. I will say Reef Roids seemed to get a better feeding response than Reef Chili or BeneReef.

I tried benereef but during that period my nutrients bottomed out (you're also dosing bacteria with benereef) so I went back to reef roids. As mentioned above I feed reef roids once early in the day. And I also feed rods food later in the day. My corals are happier than ever.

I see people say that about reef roids and yet I couldn't even raise po4 intentionally using just it alone.
