Anybody make their own mix of fish and coral food?  If so,  what do you do?

Yep, I mix lots of stuff, mysis, large mysis, spirulina brine, clam, white fish, shrimp, scallops,fish eggs, krill and squid.
I add vitamins to whatever I get out for the week.

There are several of us that make our own mix of food.  Once a year this club as a premium member orders from brine shrimp direct.  You can pick up flats or cubes dirt cheap compared to the stores.  I will melt them down mix it all together and refreeze. Will put in brine, mysis, krill, daphnia, chopped up nori, blood worms, rotifers.  Fish and corals all love it.  I think toby sells his mix, not sure if Lazys coral house sells his mix or not.

You just need to become a premium member then watch for the announcement around January/February. There is a premium member section of the forum titled group buys and it will be announced there along with an occasional salt buy also. As a member you also can borrow any of the clubs tools and testing equipment. Well worth the $10 membership fee. Plus free entry to annual frag swap.  You can join at any of the meetings or here online.

Thank you!  Silly question here, I believe I am already a premium member, that’s what it says under my name.  Is there another way to make sure?
