PE mysis is great

marine cuisine, cyclops, krill

stick with frozen foods flakes and pellets can lead to poor water quality

Yep, skip flakes and pellets altogether. Feed only frozen. Flakes and pellets contain preservatives which fuel algae growth.

Your best bet is to feed a variety of frozen foods. I rotate about 6 different types of frozen cubes in my tank. Mysis, Emereld Entree, Marine Cuisine, krill, daphnia, fortified brine, etc. A good all-in-one frozen food that everyone can eat is Rod's Food. Remember, if you have herbivorous fish like tangs or rabbitfish, you will also need to feed seaweed sheets.

Some of your choices will depend of what fish you go with.

I feed a variety of foods-Rod's Food(the best,IMO),mysis,cyclopeeze freeze dried and frozen,Emerald Entree and a vitamin additive Selcon.
