What perfect timing :thinking-face: 60 seconds ago I just ordered a blender to start making my own food. I don't have a recipe so this should be helpful.

Great idea for a thread.

My minimalist mix the one time I did it was:
- Bulk was freshly shucked clams and mussels
- Selcon-soaked dry stuff; Ocean Nutrition Formula Two flakes, freeze-dried krill, chopped sheet nori, crushed algae wafers

...mostly for ease utilizing dry stuff I already had

[Tuan’s Reef]

brine shrimp
mysis shrimp
Rod's frozen
pinch of reef roid
pinch of TDO pellets
few drops of selcon

I thaw and mix them up . fish goes nuts for this stuff and so do the corals

 

[Andreas' Reef]

1 cube brine shrimp
1 cube mysis shrimp
1 cube hikari squid
2 chopped clams
Small pinch of cobalt marine Omni
Blend, freeze cut up into cubes
feed 3 a week

It's more of a treat

Anything with Selcon added to it :)

With a big variety of fish just ended up doing rod's frozen, mysis and formula flakes and then clipped nori from Whole Foods for the tangs.

For the two picky angels in QT I had to use fresh seafood to get them to eat and transitioned to mysis and frozen.

Honestly too lazy to make my own food :P

Im surprised there aren’t more responses of people blending up food that they bough from the seafood counter at the grocery store or seafood market.

Mussels clams and oysters in a food processor

 

[Dbichler]

Mine is usually salmon shrimp scallops clam and whatever else is cheap blended with nori spirulina powder and selcon. I also feed nls algae max pellets.

Mr. Chilli
Any other food laying around.
Tank water
Amminos (if I have it)

Blender it all together to a pasty consistency, may need to add more tank water, put it in my mini ice cube tray for freezing. When frozen, flip upside down under hot water to release and put it all in a zip lock. Back in the freezer.

That's my post above... A combo of frozen, with some fresh shrimp, mussels and clams. Everything and anything, lol.

It's funny when the guy at the counter says "you want 2 shrimp and 1 large clam?" haha

Shrimp, clams and scallops. This is my staple. On occasion I may add other things but these 3 ingredients are my go to offerings.

Yep I’ve had the same thing happen, but I was just buying a few clams trying to get a picky eater to eat.

Squid, octopus, clams, shrimp and scallops from the market. Around 4 different types of shrimp from Hikari and some Marine A pellets. This covers all the different needs my mixture of fish like, mostly the different variables in size/types of the different foods.
