Post What Type of Food Do You Feed Your Tank?

Hey folks,
With the large variety of fish food products on the market these days I'm wondering what people are using as their primary food selection. I understand that a variety of different foods is beneficial to our tanks, but I am curious what people's "go to" food choice is.

What type of food are you feeding your fish in your Reef?
  1. Flake
  2. Pellet
  3. Frozen
  4. Homemade
  5. Other

I feed mainly homemade mash supplemented with NLS pellets that are soak in Salmon Oil. A few times a month they will get some Mysis, Spirulina Brine, Plankton.

Lol this is true! What is your primary staple food for your tank? Do you mix it up or maintain some sort of schedule with the variety your feeding?

Where are you shopping that you pay $60/lb for beef tenderloin??? I've only seen Organic tenderloin that high.

I make my own homemade mash out of human grade seafood only. Costs me around $60 per batch and makes 2 or 3 pounds. Takes me about 40 mins to make it once a year. I developed it for aquaculture broodstock diet.

That sounds interesting. Is there a recipe that you would share?
