Preparing Frozen Foods

[BtmDweller]

Just wanted to share my experience with preparing my own frozen foods. I’ve been using Reef Frenzy which is excellent. But when feeding anthias a few feedings I’ve seen my nutrients go up. I used to strain the food with RODI water and clean some of the excess waste. Being lazy it got to the point I was just throwing it in.

 

So now I’m using squid (cleaned/prepared calamari), clams (cleaned no stomach waste), and shrimp. Basically what I could find on sale in the frozen section. Cleaning all the full pieces thoroughly with RODI water and dicing into tiny pieces. The food looks much cleaner, the nutrients dropped within days, and the prep/cleanup is easy enough. I’ve heard other people blending etc, but figured it would be more messy.

Nice. I like the approach.

I make my own food also, and notice good results with fatter healthier fish and less nutrient spikes. My recipe is 3 scallops, 3 squid tubes/tentacles, small cod fillet, 4 clams, 4 shrimp, pellets, nori, selcon, reef chili, and some aminos.
