What do you feed???? And WHY??

[reefdogg1107]

I was just wondering what everyone else is feeding, and what they are feeding with it. What have you liked and disliked?

I feed a combination of 50/50(mysis, brine,bloodworms mix) and Emrald Entree for my fish almost every day, also using nori every couple days for Tangs and angels. :fish1: Cyclopeeze and sometimes oyster eggs to my corals (twice a weekish). Fish love the cyclopeeze as well. My Haddonis get krill once every so often as well. Every once in a while they get some more expensive meals like a 6" midas blenny that got to close the other day :furious:

going heavy on the krill and Spectrum pellets here nowadays....

I've gotten heavy into freeze dried mysis and cyclopeeze (much cheaper and more convenient than frozen)
I also mix in a variety of flakes and pellets.

I mostly feed a frozen mix of my very finely chopped seafood. Shrimp, clams, squid, tuna, scallop, throw in some nori and a little selcon, and freeze it in thin sheets. I just break off a piece and thaw it in tank water when needed. A turkey baster is perfect for feeding fish, corals (lps), and anemones. Everything loves it.

If I don't feel like thawing frozen I just use formula 1 and 2 pellets though.

Too much haha, These days I am feeding frozen mysis, cyclopeeze, coral frenzy twice a week and some prime reef flakes and nori but of course

M-W-F: Spectrum 1mm Pellets - Why? Because Gary told me to!
Tu-Th-Sa: Nori Seaweed - For the Yellow Tang to Pick At
Tu-Th-Sa: H2O Life 50/50 (Brine Shrimp, Mysis Shrimp, & Bloodworms) - Hand feed Anemone on these days
Sun: And on the 7th day, we rest...

I do a day of rest, too: for 24 hours after the weekend water change.

I only feed Hakari frozen foods to my fish, mysis and brine shrimp. I also feed nori for my tang and for the corals I feed H2O coral food. I do like Coral Frenzy haven't bought any in a while.

My Mandarin seems to prefer the Hikari enriched brine shrimp, so I feed him some of that twice a day. The fish get his leftovers. Also feed Spectrum pellets daily, Ocean Nutrition Pygmy Angel formula and Emerald Entre now and then. The Sun Coral, Duncan, Candy Cane and Acan get mysis, Marine Cuisine or whatever is handy. They are not picky.

I have been only using new life spectrum 2X a day for at least a year now.

I still do the same but i just recently started adding some cyclopeeze, omega spirulina flake, and omega marine flake. Not often but just enough for some corals and to surprise the fish a little.


I cant complain about water quality, My fish are my first purchased and have always been healthy. Knock on wood. Colors are very bold and deep IMO.

I have even seen my mandarin eat spectrum pellets, and she is wild to the core very skittish and has never been given or even attempted prepared foods. Most the time i do not even see her.

I would say that the 16$ total i have spent on New life spectrum pellets in the last year! was def the best 16$ i have ever spent on this hobby.

I think I need to get some of these spectrum pellets!!:rollface:
