I was thinking about ordering my frozen food online in bulk instead of every month.I was looking on doctorfostersmith web page and they had H2O life frozen foods and they sound good but I haven heard of it before well nither of my lfs sell it.Can somebody advise me on if it is a good brand or not.
 
I tried some of the variety bag--for herbivores and carnivores and the fish really hit it hard! I also got some fusion and the coral food....so far so good and I like the way it disperses in the current. sort of like cotton instead of "everywhere" like Rods--although I use Rods too.

I'll get more when I'm out.
 
I have tried it as well as many many others, IMO there's way too much extra stuff the ends up getting your tank dirty for no reason.

Currently I use (roggers reeffood) and it has all that i want and nothing I don't!. feeds my fish and my corals all in one motion.

I usually buy online 2-3 times a year and I was going to post a thread similar this one back in beginning of May but decided to go ahead and give it a try. If I remember right this Brand has been out since late 2008 (see user comments on MarineDepot website).

All in all I bought 14lbs of the following:
H2O Life Fish & Reef #1 & #2 Variety Pack Frozen Fish Food
H2O Life Pro-Variety Mix Frozen Fish Food Sm/Med
H2O Life Pro-Variety Mix Frozen Fish Food Large
H2O Life Spirulina Brine Shrimp & Mysis Frozen Fish Food
H2O Life 50/50 Plus Mysis Frozen Fish Food

My experience so far is that I see some left over shells flowing in the tank after the fish finish eating and the water appears to be a bit more cloudy and the skimmer has been skimming more since I started using this product. The fishes seem to eat most of the above with the exception of Pro-Variety Mix Large. Even my 8" Crosshatch is not too crazy about the Large Pro-Variety Mix.

Only been 3 weeks of use so I really can't tell the effect on the fish yet but by the time I'm done with the 14lbs I'll be able to tell if the fishes goten any better. I still supplement with NLS pellets prior to feeding fozen, couple cubes of Angel & Butterfly Diet (best food and I never seen any left over) and nori everyday.
 
tried the mixed 1lb cubes. the fish liked it & i did because didnt have to sqeeze out of package like most frozen cubes. will probably buy again
 
The main problem with all of the frozen foods are fillers and so forth and all of the disadvantages.

roggersreeffood is made by a hobbyist and a chef= best ingredients and many moons of experience.
BTW he's one of the speakers at this years MACNA in Orlando
 
Might have to try roggers.. I've never seen it at any local fish stores. Are they new and where can I buy them from?
 
Dr f/s carrying in July--I'll try it then!!!

I put alot of stock in what some members recommend--Gasman, I saw your comment on Roger's almost a year ago but all the locations were in FL....Having ordered from f/s I know the food will come in perfect condition and the price will be right too.

It's on my July to do list!
 
no problem w/ the H20 line for me except my Collare never accepted it - that's his problem / was ... the other frozen my guys go nuts for is "marine cuisine" ... I mix the 2 & hit it w/ a few drops of Zoecon in the morning ....

Again I use to mix all that stuff and it was painful this blend has lobster/shrimps/aloe Vera/selcon/vitamins and tons of other great stuff with no fillers.
Made by a hobbyists after many trials and tribulations.

I love the fact that it stays together fed from a clip/mesh and it's all in one wo mixing ITS All in one.

I've personally seen this food hand made and what goes into it (no ties for me btw) it's prime stuff for our prime fishies
 
Since dfs will start selling it in july I will try both of them then.Since both of them sound better than what I been using which is San Fransico Bay.It might save me money from buying selcon and vitachem since it has vitamins and selcon in it.

I use h20 50/50 blend and like it alot. I thaw out the cube and stir it really well then let the large stuff settle to the bottom and decant off all the water. All I end up with are the good pieces and no cloudy stuff or little bits floating around.
 
My fish don't care for H2O brand mysis. It's the only product from them I tried.
