Freeze Dried Cyclops?

[Andamaite]

While cruising a local big box store for dry goods I noticed that they have jars of freeze dried cyclops, as well as mysis and a few other marine diets. How do these compare to something like reef roids?

I generally like to have an "offline" backup for any food item I start using, just in case it goes out of stock or gets delayed. And I always prefer to have a shelf stable alternative as well.

Are those jars you found powdered foods like reef roids? In any case, I’m curious as well. Seems like it could be useful in an autofeeder over vacation.

Just looked at this short similar post.

Freeze dried food floating

Does anyone have a good method to get freeze dried food not to float and go into the overflow? I have soaked brine and krill for hours with no luck. I've used Selcon as well. Any tips would be appreciate.

It's very powdery, yeah. Somewhere around the texture of something like a garlic powder.

I did eventually figure out how to find the analysis and it looks like they're "sorta close" in terms of contents, but of course reefroids has far more info provided.

Oh nice! That’s interesting, I’ve never seen that kinda powdery food; but I haven’t looked.

Just clearing my watched threads and could actually use something like this currently for my Chromis. Do you mind sharing the product name/brand?
