Pellet Food Recommendation

Floyd- · Feb 4, 2022

What are people using for pellets now a days? I'm trying to setup my autofeeder to feed during the day to help keep my nitrates and phosphates up.
Currently have:
Hippo tang
Sailfin tang
5 Chromis
2 Clowns
Goby
6 Line Wrasse

I feed one large cube at night. A friend makes it in house.

Mine seem to like Chroma Boost.

Reef Nutrition Chroma Boost. I saw pink/red tones becoming more vibrant in fish with this food. It was a very noticeable difference.

LeftyReefer · Feb 4, 2022

TDO ChromaBoost
PE Mysis pellets
NLS Thera-A
NLS Ultra Red

I use a mix of the above pellets (along with some flakes) in my auto feeder.

Looks like maybe EP1 Chroma BOOST would be good for the size of fish I have. Ill get a bag coming.
Do you guys refrigerate like stated in the directions?

I keep my chroma boost in the fridge for storage… next to my AB+

Yes, I keep it in the frig. There's a lot in the bag.

Most of my fish absolutely love the Nyos Wild Goji pellets (2 clowns, yellow watchman goby, firefish and bicolor blenny). I have a picky banggai that only eats frozen and ROE so I don't think it's the pellets. He doesn't like flake food either.

@Reef Nutrition Chroma Boost.

I use TDO Chroma boost, new life spectrum, and some frozen food.

Hi there! Happy to hear you are going with our TDO. Also pleased to see so many people recommending it. Thanks for that everyone!

For everyone here, we have an FAQ on TDO that I created. Feel free to check it out. If there is something missing, don't hesitate to reach out. https://reefnutrition.com/pages/tdo-faq

My banggai eats anything I put into tank. Never seen a picky one.

Never knew TDO was supposed to be refrigerated! Kind of makes using a pellet food in an auto feeder pointless.

I have never refrigerated it in the 3 years I've been using it. Never noticed a difference either.

I mix TDO, NLS, and algae max pellets in my auto feeder fed twice a day.

I highly recommend Fauna Marin line of pellets. Fishes love them, and they are very nutritious.

I don't either and never had any issue.

per their FAQ

"While refrigeration is the best way to store TDO in between feedings, we are aware of hobbyists and aquaculture professionals not refrigerating the food with out any negative effects"
