Hello Everyone, Over the years, I have had a lot of questions about my tank. The most frequently asked question is not about lights, equipment, or about chemistry. The most frequently asked question is about how and what I feed my corals. When...
So, I usually try to feed my fish and corals an assortment of different foods. While I do occasionally feed my corals directly, I don't routinely do this, instead allowing them to eat whatever is floating by that my fish leave behind. Over the years I've seen various DIY aquarium food recipes...

I have made food using the 2nd link before. I think I blended it too long and turned it too mush. It was very nutrient dense with not a lot of big chunks for my larger fish so I just roughly cut up some seafood from the market and now mix the 2. When I make another batch, I have heard running it through a meat grinder will get better consistently. Good luck!
both have a lot of ingredient that are impossibile to find in fish market here, because they only sell fishes for human. no krill, mysis, copepods and so on.
if i have to buy online these ingredients, would be much easier to but the Frozen food directly
i'm looking for something based only on food for humans (tuna, salmon, clams, shrinps, and so on)
Those links are just guides, mold them to what works for you. I purchased the dry ingredients online. And then any fresh/cold/perishable items I bought from fish market, if they fish market didn’t have the item; just substitute for something similar or leave it off.
As stated, just use the recipes as guidelines, or better yet, go totally freestyle. The important thing is to give your fish a variety. I alternate between DIY frozen foods, flakes, frozen mysis, pellets, etc. Just visit your fish monger and buy a variety of things from the sea and chop them up, freeze in a gallon ziplock, and cut up. One question to ask, if they use Sodium Tripolyphosphate....it doesn't need to be labelled, but they should tell you if they use it....it makes fish/clams look shiny and fresh. You don't need that extra phosphate in your tank.
