FISH FOOD

[BILL]

Sort of a survey.
What are you using to feed your fish?
Right now in the house I have Spirulina, Freeze dried plankton (Euphausiids) and frozen Brine shrimp. All this stuff is gobbled up by my tang, anemone fish and damsels.
I have some Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies (green seaweed--Porphyra yezoensis) that doesn't seem to go over well.
Also, I have never been able to get my tang to eat fresh greens.
Anything out there that might be good?

Hi Bill,
I feed my 125 reef with 7 fish including 3 large tangs a few things.I use spiralina flakes,Formula 2(frozen),Prime Reef(frozen),spiralina disks that are broken up into little pieces,silversides(frozen),and once in a while, frozen brine shrimp.I usually feed 2-3 times a day.2 pinches of flake during the day and 2 frozen cubes at night.I usually soak the cubes in Zoe for an hour or so.I have tried the dried algae sheets and my tangs love it.It's too expensive so they don't get it much.Bob

I also feed Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies: purple seaweed (Porphyra umbilicalis)and red seaweed (Palmaria palmata)
My Queen Angel doesn't like them much (but eats them), it prefers the fresh caulerpa macroalgae I give it from my refugium:





I feed the rest of the tank (Picasso trigger, blue devil damsel and maroon clown), a mix of dried krill, brine shrimp, white shrimps, a mix of fresh clam, shrimp, squid (all in a blender with Selcon, then frozen in small sheets). Also Tetra Doro Marin and Tetra Discus pellets. Spirulina flakes are added too, I stopped feeding them Nori because they prefer the other algae now.
Now I eat the Nori with sushi, lol

Frozen Brine for the fish, and ESV phytoplankton for the corals. The tangs pick the algae in the tank to complete their diet.
