Just curious...I do when it comes to my mix. I do believe in responsible aquaculture practices, but some of the crap imported from various locations is so massively loaded up with antibiotics (particularly these generic white shrimp or non wild caught tigers), that my thought is if I wouldn't put that junk in my own body why would I feed it to a considerably smaller fish/coral etc in a small system that requires balance?
My mussels are from here, aquacultured right next to the salmon farms, no antibiotics (apparently) , which they are filter feeders , and this is what their diet is so no problem there. Clams frozen, are harder to find from North America up here, but can be located, and we do. Shrimp is Argentine wild caught reds lately, my seaweed sheets thrown in are Wild harvest Dulse from Bay of Fundy New Brunswick....
This is not meant to be some environmental attack , lecture or anything, to each their own... just curious if anyone else thinks of this as well....
