Food...what Kind??

[xxchris060]

Right now i am using a mix of pellets and frozen brine shrimp.. But i am not sure if what i am useing feed the filter feeder i have (Lots of feather dusters). I also have both hard and soft corals. The fish i have are a hawk fish 3 clowns, and 3 damsels. I also have shrimp and many crabs too many to list. Am i useing the right type of food or should i use somthing else.

Thats a good start,but some photoplanton for the featherdusters and some of the corals will help them thrive

You might also want to start varying the food that you feed the fish. Although some fish I have (marine betta) will only eat squid. Absolutely refuses to eat anything else. The saltwater multipacks cover a pretty good base of vitamins, proteins, etc that will extend the life/coloration of your fish. I've seen a lot of fish returned to my LFS almost completely white (yellow tangs especially) because they were fed nothing but brine shrimp.

For corals use DT's photoplankton

Hi,
For my fish I alternate b/w formula 1 and O.S.I flakes both soaked in zoe. daily.
For the corals, clams and inverts - DT's almost nightly and once a week or so I dose a bit of golden pearls.

i make my own coral food consisting of dts, spirulina flake crushed up, marine snow, pureed brine/mysis shrimp, freeze dried zooplankton, and a some of seachems aminoacid and vit supplement, blend it all up and freeze it in sheets. the corals love it , but the friends dont when i serve them margaritas outta the same blender!
for the fish i vary pisecene energetics mysis shrimp, formula one, prime reef, and krill with spriulina!
good luck
jon

Will I be able to kind this at my LFS??? Is that what I should feed my fish? Or should I also feed them something else?

Yes,
Your LFS should have formula one and flakes. Just feed them every day or two.
