    I would go with the marine snow. Coral Frenzy is a good coral food also.

    I remove signature lines that have links to commercial ventures

    but in addition to that

    I feed
    Cyclopeze
    zooplankton S ( small sized
    zooplankton M (medium)
    Zooton - Tropic Marins Zoo plankton
    Microvert - Phyto which feeds the photoplankton, and the corals consume the photoplankton
    Restor - aminos
    Chromoplex - aminos

    no more than 5mls of any one of the liquid supplements per 50 gallons of water in any 1 day (want to feed corals, not make a soup)

    what type of corals are you wanting to feed?

    I feed a variety of stuff to my tank. Fish food I use Rods food which contains coral food

    I dose with:
    Live phyto (sponges, filter feeders)
    zooplankton s and m (brightwell)
    Coral Freenzy
    cyclopeeze
    oyster feast
    rotifers
    coral amino
    artic pods and mysis for the lps

    again, I alternate with the feeds and only do a small amount every couple days. A lot of the food has many of the other products in it, so I dont dose those products together (coral freenzy contains almost all the products that I dose with so I always dose that by itself with a little live phyto) The live phyto I just pourin and let the flow take it but otherwise I do try to decrease the flow in the tank and kind of direct the food to the corals.

    But again it does depend on what type of corals you are trying to feed. My personal favorite for general overall feeds is coral freenzy!
