DOES ANYONE else use this food? Just curious...I was at a friends house and he puts the cubes in frozen and lets em disolve in the tank to feed. I sometimes put them in hot water till they defrost and put em in whole. Other times i pt them in a glass and break em up with a fork then pour in pieces to feed.....what do you do>?

I have started to use frozen prime reef, formula 1 & 2. I typically thaw it in a small cup of tank water and pour it in. If I'm not in a hurry I'll suck it up with a turkey baster and put a little in at a time so all of it gets eaten...

I have a small cup that I place a cube into, then I put vitamins on it. (Zoe, Zoecon, and Selcon, and occasionally a drop of Garlic Extreme) I let it soak for an hour or so. Then it's thawed and I break it up with a spoon or my finger, and I let it soak in the vitamins for a while longer. Then I pour it in the tank a little at a time so that it's eaten as it goes in. I do that for all of my frozen foods, and I feed about four different varieties of frozen foods. I alternate with Formula One pellets and Spectrum pellets, along with red and green seaweed sheets and Tetra marine flake food.
If I am feeding the inverts directly, I break off a chunk as soon as it is soft enough and offer it to them by hand, still pretty much frozen. For the most part the only foods this method works with is the spongy type, like Formula One Angel Formula and (I think) the Formula Two variety. The other varieties just break apart before the inverts get to it.
