I feed mostly a concoction of frozen. I buy the frozen variety or chowder pack at Safeway (it has clams, mussels, squid, shrimp, scallops etc.). Into this I add frozen cyclopeeze, spirilina flakes, garlic, selcon, whatever other frozen seafood I might have in my freezer, some NSL pellets and some ON pellets and flakes. I blend this all up using some tank water so it is blendable and then freeze it flat in freezer bags and when I feed I just break off a piece and thaw it in some tank water and feed immediately. Every once in a while I will just feed flake and when I am out of town or on holiday I get whoever will be feeding my fish to just feed flake as it is easier to show them how much to feed.

Fed frozen homemade and store bought for the seven or so years in the hobby. Couple of fish here since the beginning. No vibrio for me. Maybe that's US...

it was US and based on the us manufacturers but we get the same stuff dont we. i mean none of my fish have never had vibrio either but i was little concerned that i feed only frozen. i've never made homemade brew of food only store bought stuff. i think my wife would kill me if she came in the kitchen and seen the blender filled with fish goo.

Our PE mysis is made in BC (Okanagan Lake). That's mostly what I use, although I also feed Bloodworms, Hikari mysis & a bunch of other stuff.

I feed NLS flake daily and twice a week I target feed my LPS mysis and let a little extra enter the water for the fish to eat. Never had problems really.

I feed nori, & phytoplankton every day for my tangs, and alternate between a pellet/flake diet and a meat based one. Pellets and flake are the extra small New Life Spectrum, Ocean Nutrition Formula One in pellets, spirulina flakes, and cylops-eeze. For meat I usually mix up Hikari brand frozen krill, mysis, bloodworms on occasion, brine shrimp, and frozen rotifers. On occasion I hatch artemia, but I'm kind of lazy about it so it only happens about once every few weeks. Overall I just try to feed a little bit of everything over the course of the week.
