The liquid Aquaforest line including mysis, artemia, vege, etc is all very good and easy to use.

two thoughts on this:

• BAD suggestion:
  • live black worms ... but this is expensive (shipping is becoming more than worms)
• GOOD suggestion:
  • thawed frozen food

So, in my kitchen fridge/freezer lives the frozen food of all different types. I cut that up into little food cups that I had around (left over Red Sea measuring cups) and those go into leftover chinese food container... typically I have two chinese food plastic trays stacked on top of each other, and both of mine hold 8 Red Sea cups each.

Refrigerated food spoils, so I don't do more than that, given I feed both tanks different portion sizes 2x daily. Here is what is thawed waiting in our kitchen fridge right now:

Just like frozen human food keeps longer, frozen fish food keeps longer... Here are some of the frozen food (not limited to this):

I've also tried just keeping portions in previously used food tray, but then it still needs to be thawed to feed:

Random question, do you thaw with tank water?

Reef Nutrition makes refridgerated foods, I've kept roe and mysis feast in my fridge before.
I've also kept can o cyclops in the fridge.

SO, when I had one main tank... yes... then I thought... why since I make my own RO.

I've switched to doing RO water in with the fridge food, but I don't think it matters. I've not noticed any difference in the weeks I've been using RO instead of saltwater

Good call on @Reef Nutrition refrigerated foods! I usually have more than this (at least Oyster Feast too!) but I think of these more as coral foods instead of fish foods:

LOVED my one time I tried can o cyclops but I didn't go thru it nearly fast enough. If I ever make the opportunity to get that again, I'll divide up freezer portions and then have fridge portion so I don't waste so very much of can o cyclops.

Really great suggestions out there!

This group is so knowledgable!
