Different types of Saltwater Foods.

[Boltster]

I do Tetra flakes, Spectrum pellets, FD mysis, FD plankton, frozen squid, live brine shrimp and almost daily sheets of dried macro for my tang and angel. I generally mix up the foods but a little flakes and pellets are everyday.
I also have copepods/amphipods that come out of my refugium. My guys all have nice smooth bellies and bright colors so I think things are working.

You failed to mention Nori.Do u use nore for the omnivores?

 

[Boltster]

No. I use dried sheets of green seaweed/macroalgae. Sometimes the brown as well. The tang and angel shred either one.

Uh, the dried green seaweed IS nori.....

Kurt or anybody else- now that you have been using Rod's Food for a few weeks what do you think? I was planning on buying some tomorrow 6-oz for $20

Sorry... didn't see this post right away.

The fish obviously seem to like Rod's, and the quality seems really good. I'd probably buy it again, but only because I'm only using a little every 7-10 days. I just worked it into the food rotation. If I was using it every feeding, or had a bigger tank, I'd probably make my own to bring down the cost.

I bought some a few days ago. Everything seems to like it, but then again they like everything I put in there. I think I am going to do what you do and only feed it once a week or so because it is so expensive and I want to keep my nitrate etc in check(stuff floating everywhere even with a small portion) This way I will be getting a little more variety into the tanks diet.

Use a suction cup clip to feed them the nori. Keeps it from just floating everywhere.

Think ryshark was talking about the Rod's Food floating everywhere. Tough job to clip a frozen chunk of food!

I hear you about the nitrates ryshark... that's the other reason I'm not feeding it alot.
