A couple of months ago, I ran a series of posts showcasing San Francisco Bay Brand’s new frozen foods, which included the all-reef feed Marine Cuisine, the finicky eaters’ favorite Fish Eggs, the small fish and fleshy corals delicacy Calanus plankton and the filter feeders’ choice, Coral Cuisine. Each of the four varieties of food SFBB produces targets the specific needs of different animals sharing the confines of a reef aquarium. Generally speaking, some fish are pickier than others, refusing to eat all but one type of food, so it is important to offer a variety of foods and observe which one your particular fish likes the most. I used to have this issue with a number of more difficult fish when they were first introduced into the tank; my solution is that every time I feed frozen food to my finned monsters (which is once a day, the other feeding being a mix of different flakes and pellets) I mix various foods laying in my fridge prior to feeding and pour that blend straight into the area of high flow. I do that to be sure every occupant of my fish tank has something for itself and that there are no infighting over a certain type of food. I sometimes mix 5-6 different frozen feeds and the resulting mix covers all my bases- corals, tube anemones, gorgonians, fish, shrimp, and whatever else is crawling or swimming in my tank. I could never do that if not for the generosity and understanding of my girlfriend who lets me occupy almost a third of our medium sized refrigerator with my stack of frozen fish food. Not everyone is as lucky as I am, and for all those people, San Francisco Bay Brand has come to rescue with their latest product.
It’s called Reef Multi-Pack and, as name suggests, it’s multiple types of food in one package. Four types, to be exact: Marine Cuisine, Fish Eggs, Plankton, and Coral Cuisine. The Reef Multi-Pack package contains 24 individually sealed cubes, six of each food variety. Making all their most popular frozen food available in one package is a clever move for San Francisco Bay Brand, as the market truly lacks these kinds of multipacks. It would be an ideal choice for small reef tank owners who’d like to introduce variety of foods to their systems, and also for people who want to try SFBB’s frozen food offerings and choose which one suits their needs the most.
What I personally do is pop each of the four cubes into a mixing container, blend them together and pour the resulting “soup” directly into the outlet of my return pump. Fish seems to enjoy that, just take a look:
