Anyone feed Oyster Feast?

I just bought a bottle last night and was wondering if anyone else uses it? I broadcast fed about 10ml into my 75g. Gresh, is this good stuff or what?:)
 
I feed it every other day at least sometimes daily in my 105g.. I'm a heavy feeder and carbon dose so I'm probably about 20ml +/- ( I just squirt in a few glugs before I leave for work).

It's great stuff and it's always a part of my rotation of food for my tank along with my homemade stuff that has a bunch of oysters and other stuff in it also..
 
Cool deal. I'm going to be a feeding machine now! I'm going to alternate between Reef Roids, Reef Chili, AcroPower and Oyster Feast!
 
My comprehensive combo would be Phytofeast, Oyster Feast, and Rotifeast once/twice a week. The rest of the days, I used a hodgepodge of every single type of dry foods I have in the shop...mixed every dang things from Cyclop-easze, TDO, Reef Chilli, Coral Frenzy, Reef Roid, Nu Life Spectrum pellets, Ocean Nutrition Pellets....EVERYTHING! The animals eats better than me...haha.

Sounds like my feeding schedule lol.. I literally have an entire shelf in the fridge and freezer just for my tanks =)..

Which I'm sure wife really appreciates, I know mine does lol!

That, and the cabinet in the kitchen that I have commandeered for all my test kits :)

Sounds like a good plan to me, but I can save you some money and say skip the Roids and go for Reef Chili for your dry coral feed.

Be careful with Oyster-Feast, its very nutrient dense. With all your feeding, start slow and build up to the recommended dose. And if feeding multiple items, cut back the dose on all of them.

Impressive :)

I'd keep feeding OF in smaller amounts on those days. Most of those don't have the small size as OF. And I am not saying this as the RN rep here, you know me, I'm a hobbyist above all else :)
 
Gresh, is there a lot of phosphates in Oyster Feast? I have no problems with adding extra nitrates and nutrients to my tank as I want my nitrates to increase, but extra phosphate is not a good idea for my tank right now. I do have a bit of a hair algae issue so if you think feeding 10ml/night is too much for a 75g tank w/20g sump, then I will cut back.

. in for this answer. Going through the same thing right now. Not blaming it on OF at all though. :wave:
 
you cannot feed aquaria without phosphate being added I'm afraid (building block of life). All feeds have phosphate. We add none what so ever. OF is very nutrient dense, thus why I suggested starting off slow and building up. That gives your animals time to adjust their metabolism, leaving less waste and thus less algae. All our products are as dense as we can possibly make them. This can be a bad thing in terms of over feeding if your used to a less dense product.

I hope that didn't come off as condescending as that is NOT what I was trying to convey. I'm posting the below link as I found it pretty informative, and I hope you will as well.

I'm two feet out the door from work, I'll give you a more complete answer either later tonight on my own time, or in the AM tomorrow.

please feel free to email me directly, or our tech support if you ever want quicker responses :) same goes for anyone reading this :D

Sounds good, Gresh. I understand that every type of food contains phosphate. Just wondering if Oyster Feast contained a lot of it. I'm glad that none is added other than what is contained in the actual oyster.

Not condescending in any way. Thank you for you the information.
