By the time you buy all the ingredients thats included in rods food not only have you spent a ton of money but you need to find a place to store a year or 2 worth of food!

$20 worth of Rods last 6-8 weeks for me. And I am a heavy feeder.

If $20 worth of rods food lasts you 7 weeks each time, then its going to cost you about $150 every year. You can make 5+ years worth of food for $150 if you make it yourself. lol

Its $60 just for cyclopeeze. Making a large batch of your own would be freezer burned long before you could use it all. You do it your way I'll do it mine.

Ok the idiot I got the fish from kept coming into the store describing this disease the fish had and we kept telling him it was HLLE. He never bought medication for it or never really asked us how to treat it. He would just leave and that was that. So he decided after fighting with this for some time he would just break his tank down so he came in the store where I worked and asked if we would take his fish. We said certainly. So he brings this purple tang into the store with pits in him the size of pencil erasers or bigger all over his body. I told the bossman that I wanted that fish immediatly. Come to find out, the guy had been trying to treat HLLE with copper treatment and had been dosing his entire fowlr with copper. I took the fish home and FED FED FED. For a couple of months, I made sure that as long as the lights were on in the tank, There was nori on a clip and I also fed the tank vege rods 2 times per day for a couple of months. This did nothing great for my phosphate levels but the fish was loving life for the first time. AS soon as I saw the disease starting to clear up a bit, I backed off on the overfeeding and now he is absoulutely stunning. It took about 6 months for him to completely come around.

WOW! That guy is an idiot! Well done man!! Well done!! The tang looks stunning!

I prefer to buy Rods food too instead of making my own and storing it. However, if it get freezer burned does it really matter? Wouldnt that make it just taste funny and thats it? I doubt the fish care about that. Im serious about this question, because I have actually had some Rods food for a long time and wonder if I should not be using it anymore because of "freezer burn"
