+Grog Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 I like to alternate foods for my tanks. I feed frozen one day and dry the next, alternating between mysis, squid, etc on the frozen days. I supplement oyster eggs and phyto alternating that too. On dry days I use either Spectrum or Hikari Spriluna Brine Shrimp mix. Seems like any frozen food is a hit and everything loves it. So, that is never a tough decision. Dry can be iffy, some things like it and some fish turn their noses up, but it is handy for storage and easier to explain to house-sitters. (Explaining, frozen mixes and anemone feeding to a house-sitter can cause them to glaze over....) What are your favorite dry foods? I'm running low on the Hikari and would be willing to buy it again but I really think the tanks' inhabitants benefit from variety. Gimme a suggestion for something to throw into the mix! I have clowns, a 6 line, some damsels, and a ton of inverts. Grog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chippwalters Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Coral frenzy, while expensive, seems to be pretty popular in my tank. I've been feeding only dry food for some time now and everybody's doing fine-- though I have a pretty small setup and only one fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+o0zarkawater Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I use New Life Spectrum pellets and some dry food that ReefCleaners was carrying for a while. Everyone eats both. I also feed frozen mysis/emerald entree. I try to switch up dry and frozen every couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 +1 to NLS. I also use Omega Ocean pellets; specifically the formula 2. I've used their flakes too with success. I also mix frozen and dry. Rod's original & PE mysis mostly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 In my autofeeders I use New Life Spectrum mixed with powdered krill and/or freeze dried krill run through a food processer. What I look for in dry food is grain products don't show up 'till 3rd or 4th ingrediant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannerfish Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 as far as dry foods go, i really like nls, omega one, and ocean nutrition, they have the best ingredients and once the fish get a taste for them they love them! they all have omnivore and herbivore formulas, i like that allot too.
