How often to feed cyclop-eeze

Mikro · 02/14/2008, 10:00 PM

Since the cost of the frozen Cycop-eeze is so high, how often do most people feed this? I have a 75gal. reef with seven fish, a brain coral and a yellow leather and some star and yellow polyps...

I feed Cyclop-eeze every 3-4 days. I try to mix up what the fish eat everyday. My fish feed the corals with their poop.

Everyone claims that it is expensive, but a brick could easily last you 4-12 months (depending on a lot of factors), so its really not that expensive. Now Rod's food, that is expensive.

A frozen bar costs $9.99 at the LFS and lasts me at least 4 months.

I've always thought cyclops was brine shrimp. No?

a frozen bar costs me a couple bucks(employee discount

), and lasts me a few months in my 29.

i feed it daily, either with a mysis cube, krill cube, or spirulina brine cube. i feed wht would be about the same as a cube of cyclops.

so basically 2 cubes a day into 40 gallons

CYCLOP-EEZEÂ® are a selectively bred, biologically engineered microorganism which are cultured in a pristine arctic lake. The CYCLOP-EEZEÂ® are a decapod (10 legged) microscopic crustacean that are instantly characterized by their intense blood-orange coloration.

In fact, the CYCLOP-EEZEÂ® contain the highest known concentration of the fundamental and critical biological pigment Astaxanthene, accounting for their striking coloration. Complimenting this incredible pigmentation are previously unknown levels of the Highly Unsaturated Fatty Acids (HUFA's) especially those of the famed "omega-3" family. These highest levels of omega-3 HUFA's are essential for larval aquaculture applications and typically exceed forty times (40 X) those obtained from hatching the highest quality Artemia eggs.

2 cubes/day in a 40? I have a 40 and usually I only use half a cube every 2-3 days. Maybe I should use more. The corals would probably like it!

What's the difference between Cyclop-eeze and rod's food? anybody with feedback on rod's food?

Cyclopeeze is one ingredient, Cyclopeeze. Rod's food has just about everything you can imagine from big chunks of meat down to Cyclopeeze, oyster eggs... even brocolli I think. Great food for the whole tank.
