Re: Electric Flame Scallop

Saves me a bundle of money.

I use aqua star mixed seafood. 3.99
Whiting fillet 4.99
Some dried krill 2.00
Two little fishes sea vegies (couple sheets) 1.50?
half a bottle (small) reef plus 2.50
half bottle Phyto 2.50
two tbs. garlic liquid - Seachem .15?

About $18.00. I get about 12 to 14 sandwich size zip lock bags from this mix. Lasts a long time!

The mixed seafood and whiting fillet are in the grocery's seafood freezer. I thaw it to where it is still slightly frozen. Thaw it out too much and you will have soup very fast! Keeping it a little frozen, gets it to the chunks sizes you want. Do the dry stuff first - sea vegies and krill.

I use a food processor for fish food and a blender for reef food. Your clam may like a fine blended mix, where fish like larger chunks. You just gotta use a little common sense and watch what is being eaten and what is not.

My fish must like it, they run to me when they see the turkey baster. My tank never looked so good since I started doing my own mix. I try to put a little something for everyone in it.
