My fishes only get breakfast ....
1/2 sheet of nori
3 cubed of pe mysis

Also if there any other larger mysis available in market ... Pe seems to be expensive


Thanks

i buy all of this, thaw it slightly, and mix it all up as my frozen food:

pe mysis, spirulina brine, blood worms, rotifers, cyclopeez, coral food cubes, oyster feast, flying fish roe and salmon roe (from asian market)

after mixing, i refreeze it into flats and cut it into cubes about 1"x1"x3/4"



feeding regime:

morning: one cube frozen
noon: dry food from autofeeder (various types of flake food, otohime pellets and spectrum pellets
night: one cube frozen and a whole batch of two day old live brine shrimp enriched with rotigrow

once a week, i spot feed all anemones small chunks of squid and mysis and give all other lps mysis

I alternate rods food and mysis for fish at night plus they get dianichi pellets about an hour after lights come on via an autofeeder. I feed corals rods coral food, coral frenzy and PE cyclops about twice a week. This will probably change as I go more SPS dominant and I'll most likely add oyster eggs. I'm also dosing zeovit stuff, for whatever that's worth. I also add a small amount of EsV spray dried phyto daily. I just started this in hopes for more pods.

Lately I've been feeding heavier than I'd like. I have a scooter blenny I'm trying to fatten up.

Ace, what autofeeder are you using? I have a Rena on my controller but even on the lowest setting, it dumps more pellets than I'd like.

Digital feeder twice a day, fresh chunks of fish and/or shrimp for the lionfish once a day, and a slurry of rods food, mysis, and cyclopeeze once a day for corals and other fish

I alternate in the feedings. Everyday 1 oz phytoplankton served to the flame scallop, then for all the fish and invertebrates one day a pinch of tropical flake, the next 1/4 cube of frozen food.

I feed mysis ground up mysis once a day in the evening and every other day I'll throw in dianichi pellets. Also I have replaced nori with a clump of Chaeto for the tangs, I could never keep the nori on the clip for very long and large chunks would end up going into the overflow.

I spot feed all the lps every other day mysis as well.

Since I've got several tanks I'll break it down for each one:

72g wrasse tank - twice daily feeds with a combination of small grass shrimp, hikari mysis, pe mysis, bloodworms, trout roe and chopped marine fish flesh.

30g nano bio - three times daily - live bbs, frozen cyclops and hikari mysis. Phytoplankton three times a week for the gorgs.

65g shallow zoa tank - twice daily with hikari mysis, trout roe and chopped marine fish flesh. Every other day a mixture of freeze dried arctic pods, dried brine shrimp eggs, reef roids. Alternating days with home grown phytoplankton.

90g shallow lps tank - daily with a chopped mixture of small grass shrimp, fish flesh, trout roe, pe mysis and bloodworms. Three times a week with home grown phytoplankton

140g - twice daily with a mix of chopped shrimp, squid, mussels and scallops.

That's hardcore! How do you like culturing your own phyto?

Rrasco made a thread about nori recently. It seems folding it up then cutting it in strips on one end will prevent large pieces from ending up in your overflow. But yeah, nori all over your tank is the worst.
