Thanks !!
I 'm using giesemann bulbs and I have 5 actinic plus, 3 aqua blue plus, 2 aquapink, please note that in those last pics I have a fried ballast and one aquapink and one actinic plus were OFF and the tank is a little dark and the spectrum is a bit strange.
Thank you!!!:thumbsup:
I found the recipe :
The original:
4 ounces fresh frozen shrimp / 100gr
1 once squid / 30gr
1 ounce clam / 30gr
1 ounce crab meat / 30gr
1 ounce marine fish flesh / 30gr
1/2 ounce nori or other dried seaweed/ 5 sheets
1 teaspoon liquid fish vitamin supplement or a crushed Centrum pill (or similar).
What I add:
Instant algae nannochloropsis 30ml / 1floz
Selco, or fish roe 1 ounce / 30gr
Cylop eezy 2 table spoons
Spirulina 2 table spoons
I normally do more(2x) and put in ziplock bags and freeze them, making a flat thin block, I just brake the portion that I'll feed the fish, close the bag and return to the fridge.
Do not use fat fish like salmon, because with the squid and the selco or roe, the mix will bee too fatty and that may cause fat liver disease in your fish.
You can use other ingredients if you like, dried krill for example, just mind the fat. I have used centrum without problems but fish vitamin is more appropriate.
Just put everything in the food processor and let it get as fluid as it gets, be careful with the temperature, if it gets too hot it will spoil everything.
That thing will get your powerheads to spawn and your corals a great food source.
Or you can forget everything and buy a frozen food on your LFS.:spin2:

Thank you!! Putting those rocks together was a pain in the neck but I'm glad I did it, but I should have done the right one a little smaller.:rolleye1:

Dude ur tank should be TOTM!!
It's beautiful ur corals look very happy in your tank. Your husbandry skills are is very inspirational. And anyone who makes fish food on their own is born to be in the hobby
90% of us including me are tooo lazy to make fish food. Thumbs up to you in that and ur dedication, it really shows.
Your photos are just cool too, that's again another skill uv mastered.
Keep it up. Hoping to see ur sump setup and inside cabinet pics. Your tank abd cabinet looks extremely well build , very Elos like in appearance. And very innovative overflow setup.
I can only dream my new tank (stocking corals now) can be like yours.
Happy Reefing!!
