Lets talk about fish food (1 Viewer)

What does everyone feed their fish?

1. I make my own fish food
2. I buy fish food from the LFS
3. I go through a lot of fish food and buy it in bulk
4. I just feed pellets/dry food


I am going through more LRS Reef Frenzy than I like now with 2 tanks going, and a 3rd/frag tank on the way. I also feed TDO chromaboost and Nyos True algae. Fish food isnt cheap so I am looking at changing it up a bit.

I am thinking of either A: trying to buy it in bulk (6 months to 1 year at a time) for a discount if I can find that or B making my own frozen fish food blend.

I used to feed frozen foods exclusively; LRS Frenzy blends and PE Mysis and the TCMAS club blend.
Over the last year or so, I started to add more "fillers" to the daily feedings. When I thaw out the frozen foods, I will add a good sized pinch of PE Mysis flakes, minced dry nori sheets or pour in some Reef Nutrition TDO pellets. The flakes and pellets will soak up the scents and flavors of the frozen foods so the fish gobble them down more readily than if I just fed them separately.

I buy nori in bulk... a sheet a day (in the morning) keeps my angel at bay.

I feed LRS in the afternoon / evening.

I feed dried pe mysis twice a day in an auto feeder.

Lastly a bit of coral food at night.

Neptune pellets in the auto feeder at 11 and 2
Nori 5 days a week
Alternate daily between Krill and Rod's Food in the evening.
