BRS Foods?

[Maxx Yung]

Hey guys, I noticed that BRS now has their own foods (Freeze-Dried products and Powder).
Anyone try them out before? BRS has few reviews on their foods.

I was thinking:
BRS Mysis Freeze Dried $8
BRS Copepod Powder $7.50

The nutrition facts seem too good to be true, especially for the price.
Mysis has 75% protein and 7.5% fat.
Copepod Powder has 65% protein and 9% fat.

They did a video on best foods and they talk about them.

The numbers you see on frozen packs typically include water in the equation. Freeze dried contains no water so the numbers will be typically a lot higher in comparison

Alright then, I got them. Funny that there are almost 0 reviews on their foods.

Let us know what you purchased and how you like it. I am considering adding some of their foods for my next batch of my mix I feed.

Yeah I was planning too. Give me a month. I have the:
Sustainable Aquatics 1.2mm eggs or something
Copepod Powder
Freeze-Dried Mysis

For reference, I have 200g tank, with Purple Tang, Mimic Tang, Hippo tang, Leopard Wrasse, Bimac Anthias, Clowns, Lawnmower, Filefish, Sand Sifter Goby, and some type of Surgeon fish. Foxface too. Will tell if they eat or not, if they seem to have better colors, and if the water quality has decreased significantly.

Let us see

2nd Day Feeding: Anthias, Hippo, Clown, Damsels, Filefish and Leopard wrasse enjoys. Rest of fish are bottom dwellers or they don't recognize the new foods as foods.
These pellets are the only "dry" food they would eat. Any other food I've tried that was dry (Pellets, Flakes) was uneatened.
I don't know if copepod powder is good, seems to tiny to be eaten by the fish. I would think it'll make good coral food. Reef Roids + Copepod Powder + Pytho???

TLDR: So far the foods are okay. However, a lot of my bottom dwelling fish still don't eat it.

A 10 seconds google search show that BRS seems to buy their copepods powder in bulk from here and mark up 100%

Arctic Copepod Powder

Arctic copepods are an all natural, carotenoid rich fish and coral food. Our product is dried using low-temperatures to preserve these valuable anti-oxidants and color enhancing properties.

I use the freeze dried krill. My fish go nuts for it.
