New Era 8 Week Flake Food Review

Zoaelite · #1 03-01-2011, 02:10 AM

Well after feeding for a couple days I can say I'm pretty impressed, in all honesty the fish wouldn't touch the stuff right off the bat (Little spoiled piggers on frozen

) but after a couple of days of mixing there all going after it.

I'm currently feeding a mix of both the Marine and Herb flake soaked in garlic gaurd, my copperband even seems to enjoy the stuff (Who would of thought a Copperband would touch flake...).

I will update again in a few weeks when I swap to the next step.

I'm also happy to say that between the swap from frozen and new bulbs in my fixture all the Cyano I was getting has disapeared.

cool to hear about the copperband Levi.....I had a customer at the shop tell me on the w/e that he has been feeding it to his predator tank and even fish like his cuda and grouper are eating the flake

.....

This stuff comes in a flake? Dang, will have to watch for that. I got the pellets and it's well received but I'm sure flake would be appreciated by the few smaller fish I've got.

Are you doing that whole Aegis thing from New Era or just the regular feeds? I've been meaning to read up on the Aegis cycle but haven't quite gotten around to that yet.

Trying the whole system, will be starting Aegis I within the next few weeks but so far the response to the herbivore/ marine flake has been pretty good.

I kind of cheated and fed a bit of the Aegis and my piggy fish like usual mowed it so I don't forsee any problems.

did you try the pellets at all. For some reason i could not get the tang to eat anything in pellet form.
