High phosphate and nitrate but sps seems to be happy

Spectrum pellets and hikari mysis for me

There was a list of phosphate amounts in various foods. Search the web. It is out there somewhere.
From memory, it seemed to vary more based on type of food and manufacturer, not fresh/pellet/flake.

Randy Holmes-Farley did the research

In regards to food in overflow, of course you can go into feed mode. Also use of feeding rings etc. I've started feeding into the sump compartment with my return pump. It sprays it throughout the tank off the surface and I'm not finding much in my filter socks. I use a frozen food ring that I drop the pellets, powder and cubes into and stir after a few minutes. For pellets I use hikari s and Neptune crossover pellets
