food

Got a culture of white worms going. Gut loaded on white bread smeared with spirulina powder. Easy enough to start your own culture and have an endless supply of food for your livestock. Shipping is $10 USPS flat rate box.

So I put over 65,000 copepods of varying species in my 125G tank in March, and they're literally everywhere. All over the glass, the filter, the refugium, the skimmer, and I have to assume the rocks and the sediment. I can see them moving. So do you guys think this had been enough of a breeding...

Hello all, my first Thread here :) i got a bamboo shark. i know for the need for iodine. i feed raw frozen foods and dosing daily iodine to the tank, mostly for the macro algaes. i don´t know if this is enough iodine for a juvenille with 16inch. sadly i can´t get my hands on the mazuri shark...

I have a valentini puffer and feed him mysis cubes, shrimp, snow crab legs, among others but im looking for something that will self sustain itself in a 35 gallon tank. I want snails that breed readily with no effort that my puffer can eat. There are certain types that are bad like trochus...

I was wondering if I should feed fresh water fish to my saltwater carnivore I heard it can damage their liver and stuff but I’ve also heard it is good fro them so I don’t know what’s the best live fish food to feed I have a frogfish and a dwarf lionfish by the way

As a new reefer on a budget I've been looking for areas where I can save money. One place where I can save a little is making my own fish food. I found this Houdini silicone ice tray at my local target and it gave me the inspiration. The cubes are about 1 gram when full and it makes up to...

Okay. I'm just gonna fire off these questions because I have a ton of them, lol. Some backstory: I've kept freshwater fish for 26 years. I just got into saltwater in the summer of 2021 and now am on my 3rd (4th counting the quarantine) tank. Here goes so bear with me: 1. Any downside/upside...

Hi, Im purchasing a pair of clownfish next week and would like to prepare vis-a-vis food. Haven't had some fish for about 6 months and last pair succumbed to ich. I was feeding mainly pellets and some frozen shrimp but clearly that couldn't support them. If anyone has some recommendations or...

Hi all, I am struggling to figure out how to dose. I have a 76L tank (20 US gallons) and AquaForest say "1 drop per 100L" can I basically not use Thier stuff because my tank is under 100L?

I don’t know if I want to go through the trouble of cultivating or buying phytoplankton, but I want to cultivate copepods. I wondered if there’s any dried food they will eat or an easier/cheap alternative?

Hi everyone, I’ve had my Valentini puffer for about 4 months and have always fed mysis shrimp and half shell clams, but I got a wyoming white clownfish yesterday and realized while feeding that the puffer also enjoys pellets, would it be okay to feed pellets most of the time and feed half shell...

I’m still exploring auto dosing food. I can’t combine the reef nutrition foods into a single container. However, is it possible to have 2 containers connected at a T to a single dosing head? I dose the same amount of each of the foods I use.

I have a pair of Mocha Gladiator Clowns and a Coral Beauty Angel. They eat the frozen mysis shrimp, but don’t seem too happy with it. I also have marine pellets that the clowns like but the angel doesn’t seem to like. My biggest concern is the angel because it doesn’t seem to eat much. What’s...

So I’ve been thinking a little about this with my establishing a feeding regimen for corals. It makes sense to start a tank of with a skimmer while you have fish and while building maturity, but once you get to that point, wouldn’t the space be better utilized to make the refugium larger? In...

So I have a 55 gal with now 11 fish. I have 3 black clownfish, 2 orange clownfish, 3 banggai cardinal fish, a lawnmower Blenny, a bicolored angelfish, and a sailfin tang. I also have a Kenya tree with now 5 frags from fallen branches from it. A meteor shower, rainbow acan, a green star polyp...

In all seriousness, is is it safe to harvest and eat macroalgae from my own aquarium, specifically members of the Ulva genus (and possibly Caulerpa lentillifera in the future)? Is there something they would contain after having grown in my aquarium that would make them inedible or would a...

Hi everyone I’m thinking of changing my food mix to better get food for my coral and fish at the same time nightly. this is the mix I make currently make and it last me about a week. Thoughts? And what’s everyone else mix for coral and fish? San Francisco Bay Brand Frozen Saltwater Multi-Pack...

What ridiculous foods have you fed or have been told to feed your marine fish/invertebrates (post below)? I remember that the book below recommended feeding Hamburger meat:

5g bcaa (unflavoured, no additives) 125 ml vinegar 375 ml ro water

I know I have been feeling to much based on others post on the subject. I just needed some help creating my own. I have tried feeding based on how much they eat but no mater what they always seem hungry. I also am worried about a valentine puffer nipping cora/tankmates (so far so good)...
