It's funny that folks think that LRS Reef Frenzy is too expensive but think nothing of the cost of feeding a single cat or dog. A little bit goes a long way with reef frenzy even with a large tank with lots of fish. Is it expensive by fish food standards? Definitely, is it still cheaper than feeding most pets? Definitely.
Probably true for dogs and cats, but I have additional variable costs for my reef tank. Never hurts to save money. Fish love the food I make. May LRS is a little better, but my home made food is pretty good at about 10/lb vs. LRS at nearly ~$50/lb (taxes included).
What I learned is that a food grinder saves time and gives me food with consistent size. Used a blender and manual chopping before and that was not fun. I still have to cut frozen anchovies by hand because the grinder makes mush of them.
