Food for bacteria

[hookedonreefs]

OK, I'm fully cycled (using the raw shrimp method) and will not get any fish or LR for another week. I've read that once the cycle is complete you need to "feed" the bacteria so it doesn't die off. My question is, what is a good non-living food source?
I was thinking flake food, but it doesn't seem like the best option. My next thought was some frozen brine shrimp from an lfs. Does that sound good? If so approx. how much?
thankx

I would think providing flake food would work. Just feed as though you had several fish in there i guess. It might be perfectly fine for you to do nothing if its just gonna be a few weeks though.

a little flake food once a week or so
but if you are only going to be a week and have LR and LS int he tank, it should be ok. If youwere talking months or even several weeks, I may worry, but not with it only being a week.

I agree with the above. A week or two with no addition of food will be fine.
