[Krish]

Time for a new poll! It's simple...What do you feed your fish??? I will set it up to allow multiple votes.

You need to add a major catagory: Home prepared frozen food.
Many of us here including myself DIY

Saltwater fish I feed
Canned/packaged - nori & seaweed sheets regularly and once a month or so pellets.
Frozen food - pe mysis daily
Live Food (personally cultured in fuge etc) - reef pods for the mandarin's
"Home-made"/self prepared food - could be considered frozen too. A mixture of shrimp and scallops and nori along with the frozen mysis & silversides. daily

I feed my freshwater betas - shrimp & scallops daily. They get cucumbers, zucchini and asparagus once in a while for a treat.
I havent tried feeding the saltwater fish vegies.

Lorrie...If you feed your family the way you feed your tank, then it sounds like I need to move in :lol:

I feed frozen mysis, formula 2, nori(daily), pellets(once a week), and I am working on beefing up the pod population in the DT and my fuge. I am also currently trying to get a crop of Ulva growing to feed the herbivores from time to time and now that I am getting low on frozen mysis I am thinking about switching to a homemade frozen food instead to ensure I get lots of vitamins in my fish!

 

[returnofsid]

I voted for multiple items.

I feed Dried Algae
I feed live algae, that I grow.
I feed a few different frozen foods, Rods Food Carnivore Diet, Rods Food Herbivore Diet, Rods Food Coral Diet and frozen Cyclopeeze
I feed Coral Frenzy.
I make my own food, as well.

 

[ac7av]

I currently am feeding 2 cubes of frozen, one cube is mega-marine algae mix and the other is krill. I also feed 1 sheet of algae

I have started LIVE, I ordered the cultures and dormant eggs from FL plus got a NICEopcorn:
amount of Live Brine Shrimp from a NEWLY GOOD FRIEND gave what seemed like a years worth of Brine Shrimp. So i'm going live as much as i can slowly and see how me tank and collection deals with it.

I tried a stalk of broccoli for my saltwater tank once, all the fish ignored it and I ended up with a ton of little broccoli sprouts floating around. Maybe next time I'll try a less messy veggie

LOL...You would probably starve at my house. I think its only the fish that get to eat around here. We had hot dogs for dinner tonight...LOL

 

[Lbrewer34]

I use rods frozen on recommendations from here. The fish and coral get a better diet, but I did notice a little spike in phosphates and a minor diatom outbreak. Knowing me I am probably feeding a little too much.
I also use coral frenzy maybe once a week or so and I'll throw a flake of prime reef in the sump one a week for a couple camel shrimp I have in there. Hmm, now that I type it all out and read it over it does seem like I feed a lot.

 

[Myteemouse]

home made with nori

Live Food (personally cultured in fuge etc) - reef pods for the mandarin's

I find this personally amusing. I dont think that having a "fuge etc" constitutes as personally cultering live food. If thats the case then every reefer personally culters them due to the ETC.

The winter that I cultered rotifers in a 5G bucket I was very happy with the results in my reef. It seems that all the microfauna became healthier and more abundant as I not only dosed massive amounts of phytoplankton but as I side effect, the nannoclhoropsis served as a macroplankton.

I'll be curious to see how Dtech's brine shrimp culter's work out for him in the long run

 

[krisfal]

I like to do a variety, so I have many types of frozen (mysis, Ocean Nutrition variety, Ocean Nutrition Angel Formula currently) also a homemade frozen version and Nori.

 

[DTECH07]

I'll post a thread once i get it set up and running, I'm doing the Phyto first and towards the end starting the Brine and Pods (ffod then critters) looking at having everything going by the middle of next month.

[Faciosity]

I feed marine flake food every morning and evening, and supplement several times per week with frozen mysis, cyclopeze, raw shrimp and calamari, and live algae from the sump for the tangs. I try to alternate once in a while, or make a combined mixture with a little of each.
