So a little while ago I did some research into DIY food recipes that covered all the bases. Found one that has been working very well for me in my mixed reef system. All the ingredients are a little pricey but it covers carnivores, herbivores, and coral. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with making their own, or was willing to give mine a try. Also on a side note if your wondering who I am, I just registered but my wife (cappiepants) has been a member for a little bit. I would just lurk and tell her to ask the questions.

I use DIY.
1 dozen each fresh shucked clams, mussels, and oysters with all liquid added
Couple of squid with tentacles
A few Shrimp with heads and uncleaned if I can find them
If i can find them, Smelts as they are usually whole and uncleaned I add them whole
Frozen rotifers, cyclops, and fish eggs
A bunch of Nori chopped up in small pieces
I mix it up in a food processor in stages and for different amounts of time sl it gets a good varied particle size.
Nothing remains when I feed it.

I bought a bunch of frozen food, plus some clams, shrimp, squid and some nori, chopped everything in the food processor and freezed up the mix in small silicon ice trays and like jgraz did all have different amounts of food so they are a good variety of food, same nothing is left on my tank
