Default homemade food

here's minemajor ingredients); white-fleshed fish meat, cod, halibut, snapper or other seasonal saltwater fish. minor ingredients; small salmon fillet(read small), a few mussels, handful of cherry clam meats and if your phosphate level is too high you can always skip mussels but i find them to be quite an appetite stimulant, a few splashes of selcon,fresh garlic puree from clove or two. feed my tanks 3 times a week along with algae sheets. been using formula for quite some time and even my most finicky lionfish and sargassum fish has shown no appetite loss.

i use different types of nori bought at the t&t downtown,mixed with 1&2 pellets,oyster egg,fresh or frozen roe(also from t&t)pureed prawns,and some different sheets of sea vegies-all soaked then pureed.i also get as much fresh seafood,or frozen,and coarse chop it.vegie kept separate from the seafood to adjust the usage of the fish

Walmart seafood salad. It's a bag of assorted frozen seafood (clams, oysters, mussels, squid, octopus, shrimp). I grind it up and freeze it flat in sandwich bags. I can break off a piece as large as I need.
