Decided to make my own food cubes..!

[Zeal]

Hi everyone, went to my new LFS hung around for a bit and spoke to the owners and they were telling me how I can make my own cubes and what not with what I already own. SO I decided to give it a shot....! This is my first DIY so if there's anything I could improve on feel free to tell me. Ill be feeding it tomorrow morning so ill report my findings. But im sure itll go smooth:);Bookworm


Started with this Dr. G Brine and Mysis and RODS fish food (Didnt take a picture of it)

I defrosted 4 of each cubes in RO/DI water I mixed it up a bit till its all mixed so each individual cube gets a bit of everything. I drained the water and picked the brine and mysis out with tweezers.




I tried to evenly spread enough Reef-Roids into each cube.


Here I started adding about 10 drops of Seachem Zooplankton and Phytoplankton and 2 drops of Garlic in each cube and 1 drop of the Aquaforest Fish V. For the Rods Fish Food I cut chunks into 4s and spread them out evenly
