Questions - Need some input

I have questions that need answers.

  1. Bullied chromis poor feeding response: suggestions?

    I have a group of 3 chromis virdis in my 135g reef. One of my chromis (the largest one of group) gets picked on by a smaller chromis, and as such has a very poor feeding response. I can normally get him/her to eat mysis after a while, but it takes a great deal of effort so that he grabs it instead of all the other fish. I am pretty sure if I wasn't target feeding him he would have died a long time ago. Suggestions?

However, I was reading an article on fish nutrition and noticed that the author did not recommend using pellets?

    What I have done so far:
    -installed RO/DI filter, giving me 0 TDS water for top-off and water changes. I have been slacking on my water changes though
    -installed GFO reactor. It helped a little bit, but I still get consistent crops of algae
    -limited ...
