Nothing wrong with it imoI’m using san fransico brand, only option I have available to me locally unfortunately
Time, I want to feed the frozen cuz they go crazy for it but time to thaw I don't have so you pre-thaw.I don't actually get the point (effort) of thawing frozen food.
Personally, I just crunch up a frozen chunk (usually LRS) with a knife, quick mix in little cup of tank water, and dump it in.
*maybe I'm missing something
I used to use this for cichlids in freshwater, haven't heard of people using it for saltwater.I’m using san fransico brand, only option I have available to me locally unfortunately

It can especially my favorite LRS foods but I cover the little container with saran wrap which reduces smell to nothingHey, so I have used regular rods and my fish loved it, switched to reef frenzy and my fish love it. I ran out and wonder what to buy next. I have 2 clowns, 2 purple tangs, melanarus wrasse, and yellow watchmen goby. What type of frozen is a like bullet proof option and freshest option? I am setting up a new tank and want to stick with one frozen, but my thing is my fish love the food but everyone who opens my fridge hates it. I thaw out a chunk and use it for like 3-4 days and it STINKS my fridge up, is this normal should I only be thawing for feeding for the day? If so is there a good clean option for cubes?
Agree, the idea you should only feed frozen just recently thawed is nonsense.I think the premise that one should only thaw out enough food for a day is making irrelevant conclusions based on how we prefer to have our food prepared.
I thaw out enough frozen to feed the fish for a week.
I use this Hikari, speciallythese 4:

I use my wetsaw to cut the frozen sheets into strips and take 4 strips (one of each) and thaw it into a mason jar.
As for the smell, I use to keep the fish food in the main refrigerator, but like most of us, the family constantly complained. Now, I keep it in it's own tiny fridge that only geta openes when its time to feed. I think ita relevant to also add that I squirt in selcon and vitachem to the thawed mixture and the fish are always swarming at the top when it's time to eat.
As for copper bands, I have 2, and they are always pushing their way to the top of the tank to get the food directly off the spoon.
My current tank just passed its 6 year anniversary and I've been doing this since day 1.
SFB combo pack cubes, one or two each per day thawed in a wide double shot glass filled with a phytoplankton mix. Sometimes I use a larger mason pint full of phyto mix and a cube or two thawed in it. As soon as the cubes can be separated, I feed. If only half gets the job done with plenty of left-overs, I simply place the shot glass or pint back into the freezer and thaw the next day. Stays fresh-smelling and still appreciated.Hey, so I have used regular rods and my fish loved it, switched to reef frenzy and my fish love it. I ran out and wonder what to buy next.

I use to think it was the greatest way to feed also, especially since many of the frozen packets say you can feed as it is (frozen). Then I got some different fish and it killed them within 15 minutes of eating it, which I had to assume was because it was just to cold for them. From then on I always thaw it in a little bit of tank water first.I was trying to say that I don't thaw frozen food at all.
It thaws quickly when I dump it in the tank at feeding time. (I guess that's the part I don't understand about people taking the time to thaw frozen food in advance)
