Hello guys. What do you feed your fish? Flakes pellets frozen ect? I feel like I need to explore more options then frozen and nori for my fish. Way to much phosphates feeding frozen every day. So what do you feed you fish? And what brand if you do not mind.

Btw Mr. Cob I read what you said about feeding your clowns shrimp make them more orange and you are 100% correct. My clowns are very bright and deep orange. They eat brine and misis every day.

Hey Jeff, you've got to go to the May 5 meeting about feeding your tank. There will be all kinds of good info and ideas and I believe you might even walk away with a food sample.

I am pretty serious about feeding a good mix of quality food to our tanks. The automatic feeder dumps some flake and pellet in the tanks during the day and they get a mix of frozen every night that consists of PE mysis, regular mysis shrimp, spirulina brine, krill, squid, bloodworms, and some mixed seafood minced up to the appropriate bite size. We feed lots of different brands.

Ok I started writing my response before Ben's showed up, so I apologize for repeating... I got sidetracked!
