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!
