My feeding Regime:
Nothing out of the ordinary really, just a good mix of
frozen fare. Specifically:
Brine shrimp - Omega-7 Hufa
enriched as well as Spirulina enriched.
Krill Pacifica - My Majestic Angel's favorite.
Mysis shrimp.
Squid.
Whole Cockle.
Marine Mix.
Lance fish.
I feed one cubes of any of the above in the mornings. Being fairly coarse
in size it get eaten quite quickly so I don't bother turning off my return
pump.
Cyclops.
Red Plankton.
Fine Mussel.
Home-Blend, a mix of all the above foods including the coarse ones. I
put these into the blender add Kent Zoe, Zoecon, Marine De Lux and Cellpharms
Reef Phyto.
Once blended I pour the soup into margerine tubs & freeze, this is
then later broken up into suitable sized chunks.
I feed these finer foods at night just before the halides go off. I have
to switch my return pump off otherwise all the particles would choke the
sponges which fill my weir box.
This is also a good time to feed my sump which usually gets some pellets
or half a cube, the worms etc.. go crazy....
I leave the skimmer off for an hour or so & just have one circulation
pump running in the tank at this time.
Ocean Nutrition pellets - 2
types.
Ocean Nutrition flake.
Kent pellet food - Carnivore & Herbivore.
The Cellpharms Reef Phyto comes
in little dropper bottles of super concentrate. This has to be kept frozen.
I make it up by filling a Kent Phytoplex bottle with tank water, add 9
drops of concentrate & shake. This can go straight into the tank or
kept in the fridge for later use.
My Sun Coral gets target fed
once a day using a turkey baster, it's a good idea to give the shrimps
something prior to this to keep them occupied.
I also feed the Cerianthus
Anemone & my Bubble Coral at least once a week with a good portion
of Lance fish or Cockle. The Cerianthus also picks up whatever else floats
by.
Cycop-eeze
is the latest food that I've tried feeding to the fish & Inverts.
The fish go mad for it although how much they actually consume could be
debated as it's a very fine powder type food. It's too early to say how
the corals are responding but keep watching this space!
