What size Pe mysis pellets do you use? You like these better than the apex pellets?I feed five times a day. The apex autofeeder feeds a mixture of PE Mysis Pellet and Calan-eeze in small quantities three times a day and I feed frozen (LRS Fish, Reef, Fertility Frenzy, Nutramar Ova, Masstick, and Clams) twice a day.
Oh, and I feed nori for my foxface, goby, and wrasses.

My main stay is homemade and I supplement it with little mysis, Oyster Feast, vitamin C mostly. The system does really well and for about $40 I have had food for two years. I seal the food with a sealer and keep it in a deep freezer. Make sure to read the package if using frozen to see if phosphate are used in the processing and scallops are the one to mostly watch. It is always best to use fresh but frozen can also be used if slacked correctly. One can pretty much go to the local Grocery and pick up the product that are needed. One can also order product in small amount if need for the grocery.
Equipment needed: I prefer a grinder, one can use a grinder attachment for the mixer I like mine chunkier. A food processor second works too, but be careful not to puree the food. Pulse the food when use the food processor.
Do you do anything special to keep the black worms alive or just refrigerate?
I use a worm keeper that I bought from https://www.aquaticfoods.com/BlackwormAccessoriesM.html. I keep a jug of fresh RODI water in the fridge and before feeding the fish I'll rinse the worms, take what I need and the rest go back in the fridge. Usually one rinse is all that is needed, but if the keeper is packed with worms the water will foul faster so two rinses are needed, once in the morning and again before feeding. The worms stay alive for months if they are rinsed daily. I'm fortunate to be able to get the worms from my lfs, but in the past I ordered through the above link.I to am interested in special requirements to keep black worms alive. And where can one buy local? I would love to try them out.
