OK I make my own food and prior to feeding soak it in tank water with zoe and zoecon then pour back into tank, do other people strain the tank water out before putting the food in the tank and if so what is the benefit?
Stupid Question

In the fresh batch I just made I did add the zoe and zoecon, how do you go about soaking with garlic? Same way, just let the food sit in the garlic and then strain, and could not straining it cause higher nitrates?

I would think both nitrates and possibly phoshates would be elevated, but then again maybe Bang Guy will stop back in.

No Hijack:
It's very simple and inexpensive, this time I used squid, mussels, flounder, krill, scallops, seaweed I put everything in a food processor and blend with Zoe and Zoecon. I then put in individual sandwich bags, flatten with a rolling pin and freeze.

I think the recipe(^^^^) thread should be moved to the New Hobbyists section and should be a sticky at the top of the page because alot of people ask about making home made fish food.
