What do you feed your acans and chalice's

[speedstar]

I've been using reef nutritions oyster feast, cyclopeeze. It seems to be working but am wonder what others do. This just gets added to the water column as I have way to much flow to spot feed.

cyclopeeze and marine snow is good I used to dice up shiners and feed my acans... its amazing how much they will eat!!!! I have pics somewhere of my aussie acans with pieces of shiner being eaten.

I have a "homebrew" that works really well!

[speedstar]

But do you have a homebrew that doesn't stink up the house in the blender :p

Please share

well when making it .... its got sort of a "funk" but after all cleaned up and frozen... there is no smell at all.

I have the recepie at my office at home... when i get home tonight I will post it...

Please do post it! I've never spot fed my acans, but maybe that would encourage them to grow faster!

allright... first off sorry for taking sooo long.

this changes each time I make it but its actually very very simple.

I will make a couple different batches one maily for corals like acans,chalic,palys and other corals with healthier appetites and make a general batch for fish.

the one I do for corals like I said will change time to time depending if the supermarket has a good deal of seafood. but usually these are the items for my CORAL batch:

cyclopeeze
fresh hatched brine shrimp
crab legs WITH the shell
smelt or other NON oily fish
squid
prawns with shell

blend the **** out of it till its a consisency of mud. pour into small trays and freeze.

and for my fish its pretty much the same stuff but I add some greens...
nori
broccoli
zuchinni
orange peels


some people will also use unflavored geletin to put in for consistency but I have never done that...

pretty easy to do
I have been doing this for YEARS and works great and then I keep some pellets around too just to throw in every now and then
