Rods reef food

cioutlaw · 11-04-2007, 11:45 AM

Anyone else feeding this stuff? I have been using it for over a year now & the fish & corals love it. Our local club had a fragswap yesterday & Rod came, talked about his food & breeding clownfish. Bought some great frags too...pics later

Rod's Food - The Complete Reef Food This food can be found at Premium Aquatics INC - live rock and aquarium supply if yout LFS doesnt keep it.

I've used it and LOVE it! I loved it even more after I ran out and decided to make my own food and realized just what an ordeal it is.

Seriously, it's worth the money. One food for everything! No mess!

PEMfish · 11-04-2007, 12:39 PM

Oh, you've met him to!
Yeah, the foods great. I would never go with out it. And its packedged in RO water, no algae jet fuel in gel form. His shop in DeKalb is nice to. Its a small shack in the back yard but very nice corals. Would recommend him + food. Hey, has anybody done a product review.

sihaya · 11-04-2007, 01:30 PM

Indeed, Rod is a fabulous guy. I would also recommend him too. lol

I got a sample of it at MACNA this year. Everything seemed to like it but I got so many samples I am working my way through them. So far it is one if my favorites though so I will likely be ordering some.

Yeah I use Rod's too and alot of the LFS around here do too and they swear by the stuff. Like its said above just give a call before you head out there, he isn't always there during posted hours.

BigAl07 · 06-09-2008, 11:31 PM

Any using this now? I've contacted my LFS and asked if they are going to "Carry It" or should I order it ONLINE with my "Next LARGE $$ order"?

I still use it and love it

BigAl07 · 06-10-2008, 08:03 AM

Glad to hear. Since this thread was started I've seen some threads across the net (Not on RS) about users complaining of an "algae issue" when using this food but I'd venture to say that's possibly and even PROBABLE with any type of food if used incorrectly or if the tank isn't set up (filter, flow etc) correctly.
