Looks good thanks for sharing.


Do you think you lose some of the nutrition value from losing the water soluble vitamins when you soak and rinse it in water?

I usually get the frozen sea food mix which has squid, clams, shrimp and mussels for about $5.

I personally don't have an opinion on this and not really sure why this could be bad. A lot of people don't like using that mixed bag because the food comes precooked. I am not sure if you are using the brand that is pre cooked. Just something you might want to look into.

Maybe but IMO its worth it to clean the frozen food. The cleaner the food is the better it is for the reef

I do not use the pre packed bags or cook any of the food. Everything I add to the food is Fresh from the Fish market and is not frozen then defrosted then froze again. Its fresh then froze the 1st time when it is done and placed in the ziplock bags

I researched making my your own fish food for quite some time before firing up the blender. Among the most beneficial articles I read through was that from Melev's Reef. I used the exact same seafood mix with mine.

I have been using it for the past 2-3 years with no ill affects. i will however use fresh food in my next batch to see if there is any difference.
