I just wanted to say thanks to BRS for putting out content that is informative and helpful. This is my first time posting on a thread of any kind, so please go easy on me.

I have always wanted to make my own frozen fish food instead of purchasing it from a LFS. My biggest concern is the Sodium triphosphate found in frozen seafood. Does anyone have information on weather Sodium triphosphate would have a negative effect on a reef tank? Are there frozen seafood brands that don't have Sodium triphosphate? I have struggled with this for years and always end up purchasing Rod's.

I want to buy that food brs made. They should start selling it.

What are some of the fish considered for the small foods in this example?

Welcome to R2R!

I too am curious about this. This is some sort of preservative, right?

Unfortunately some of the items aren't even sold or found in Toronto, Canada ... Thanks for sharing these recipes guys!

Yes it is a preservative. I found shrimp and scallops at whole foods that don't have the sodium triphosphate. I think the fisherman that catch the shrimp spray it on shortly after they are caught. A YouTube reefer "Fish of hex" discusses how his homemade fish food, which is similar to the BRS recipe was causing increased phosphate levels in his tank. He said he will rinse all of the ingredients to reduce the phosphate added to his tank.

This is the video that Fish of hex discusses rinsing the food to reduce phosphate. You can start the video at 4:35.

I changed my self made food based on the video and must agree it is much easier to feed not using water in the 'chilli' . One side effect I have noticed is increase in algae in all my tanks with the new formula. I am guessing it is because of the increased nutrition. I have to cut back on the amount I am feeding, but all my fish and corals seem to love it. My next quest is to find a blade for my food processor that can cut larger chucks to feed my eels.

As always I love what BRS does.

The kitchen aid food processor has many blades and works great.

nice one.. love the comment about not using the wifes.. blender... I tend to wait till she is off on a break for few days.. it smells up the house quite a bit..

Hum when I tried making my own baby food (yup fish) my eldest stopped eating! I went back to the muck in glass jars.
