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.

I've been feeding Hikari, PE, Ocean Nutrition etc. Some of the food I feed is frozen, some freeze dried, some flake...fish die sometimes, it's similar to a new study out now that says antioxidants may actually cause people to die sooner. Whether a fish gets sick or not and dies or not could have as much to do with stress and genetics as it does for us. Not trying to dismiss your concerns, just speaking my two cents worth.
