are you forgetting, Mindy, that I probably have a generation on you.......sally's and others started with plankton based foods in the nineties....... fairly recent in the grand scheme of things

Wow a simple question sure turned in to alot of bickering. I take it Red Coral does'nt sell PE Mysis? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but what does age really have to do with smarts?

nope.....RC sells PE mysis too......and as I stated before......I never said PE mysis was bad.....I just dont like when people automatically dismiss something because they are used to and are trained to believe in something else......I just feel I, as a reefer am trying to replicate, to the best of my ability, my little salty friends environment......from what I feed, to the salt I use(H2Ocean(a naturally evaporated salt))....... and I mention the age thing because I have been keeping fish for close to 25 years...... well before specialty foods like plankton were available

Off topic,

How do you like that salt? I'm just finishing off my third pail of it and I think I'm going to continue to use it but its always nice to hear other peoples thoughts.

There's lots of threads discussing it. Go search.

I use a variety of foods as I find that like humans most fish like a varied diet, Even my Cbb eats a few different things, bloodworms, Ocean Fresh, and several different types of pellets all go into my tank at different times for feeding. I have noticed that my fish will eat all sorts of foods, Nori is another addition that my fish love, I also go to Superstore and get some live clams and cut them up for the fish as well. One thing that I found out is live clams although boring to look at can survive in a reef tank, dropped a couple in by accident and they buried themselves and a few weeks later were just fine, so I don't know but being filter feeders I guess all good so far. There is even a frozen seafood medley you can buy at the local grocery stores that cut up into small pieces also works well. Best advise is try different things , watch how your fish respond and whatever combo's work best....USE THEM.

Been using it for three years...... I like it

I'm going to do an experiment. I am going to cut out PE mysis for 6 months, and feed Pacifica plankton instead. I feed other things too, but mysis has made up 50%. Now plankton will make up 50%. I'll see if I notice anything. I'm don't expect to see any difference - one way or the other.
