mdelawter Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I've noticed on those days that I feed flake to my fish, the protein skimmer goes crazy. Is flake the devil, a necessary evil, or am I over feeding on flake? The other items I use to feed are Mysis shrimp and pellet seaweed, and if I don't use flake with those, my skimmer pulls out a lot less from the tank.

jesterisdead Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I started using LRS Reef Frenzy almost a year ago and won't use anything else. I do feed my carpet nem silversides and reefchilli to my filter feeders but my fish love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plantguy Posted July 26, 2014 Report Share Posted July 26, 2014 I feed APbreed TDO Chroma Boost pellets through the week, and a couple feedings with Rod's original every other day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj7jeep81 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I use a few different kinds of flake (forumal 2, primer reef, and picked up some cobalt stuff yesterday), as well as some pellets, and mysis/silver sides. I rotate around on the foods, and mostly use the frozen for corals. It doesn't take much food. Just feed a tiny bit, let them eat it, then give them a tiny bit more. Once they stop showing intrest, quit. They will always act like they are starving, but I just feed small amounts 2 or 3 times a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invert Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 I switch up foods fairly often. Cobalt for flake food, Rods frozen, live brine shrimp (whenever I hatch a batch), amphipods/copepods quarterly, frozen red seaweed and seaveggies for the tang. Once every other week I'll dump some phytoplankton in to help feed the copepod population Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3FordFamily Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 I have a strange feeding routine.Once per week or as needed, I mix the following frozen foods:Emerald EntreFormula 1 or 2 frozen cubes (cannot recall) Mysis Spirulina BrineBrineSquidBloodwormsAnd a couple others I cannot remember I break of pieces in to a big clear cup, microwave and mix. Drain out as much water as possible, then fill with garlic. I feed with Turkey Baster. The only flakes I occasionally feed are Formula 2. I also use Nori sheets from Kroger to supplement tangs/angels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReefRider Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 I DIY my food using fresh seafood items from Krogers and I also include some of the larger frozen food packs to the blend i.e. Krill, etc. Lastly, I add Omega flake food to my blended mush as it has Spirulina for dietary enrichment.

Scalare102079 Posted September 1, 2014 Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 I break of pieces in to a big clear cup, microwave and mix. Drain out as much water as possible, then fill with garlic. I feed with Turkey Baster. The only flakes I occasionally feed are Formula 2. Why microwave? Exposing the foods to heat degrades some qualities of the very nutrients you are trying to provide. Esp. your water soluble ones like B and C. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Been Mired Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 I have a strange feeding routine.{snip} I also use Nori sheets from Kroger to supplement tangs/angels Are these the nori sheets you use? I would like to know if they are safe to feed my fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowfish770 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Nori also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke33 Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 LRS, Rods, Mysis, krill, squid, and a few other frozen when I get around to it. I generally stay away from flakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbender88 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Heavily dependent on what livestock you have. I stopped using flake a while ago, fish never seemed the interested and it would just get blown around the tank. Now I use NLS pellets, Hikari algae extreme, cyclopeeze and my own frozen mix (shrimp, mussel, squid). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
