Nutrients without fish...

I have a 4g pico that is coral-only, no fish.  I recently added a couple of Astrea snails (2) to take care of some algae growth.  They made quick work of it and now patrol the tank looking for something to eat.  From a coral food/snail food perspective, how do you keep the nutrient level up enough to keep them healthy?  I have been dropping a few food pellets into the tank every few days.  Anyone using other methods in their coral-only or fish-less tanks?

No harm in feed them a few pellets or algae food.  I have a couple shrimp and 4 crabs in my tank and I make sure to drop in some algae pellets every couple of days to make sure they have food.  I know they are getting because it is gone from sand in two or three days.
