Alternate food items

seriac,
I find the price difference to be nominal as $10 worth of sea food will last me with 4 tanks up and running up to 6 months. You just need to be careful where where and what you buy. For instance you can get the 1kg block of squid tentacles for about $2(I can't believe people eat this) and some places have Atlantic shrimp with shells on for 2 or 3 dollars. I look for what's on sale and buy it and throw it all together. I like this type of food because it feeds everything in the tank with all particle sizes and I beleive it is very healthy with low phosphates and things like that. Although some filter feeding molusks can contain high amounts of heavy metals which should not be considered.
