Im lazy so I will just copy what I wrote in another thread...

Here is a great coral food, cheap and easy.

Look in your deli/seafood department at the grocery store.
Buy a 10 or 12 oz bag of "Fresh Frozen Seafood Mix"
It usally has raw Squid, Octopus, Shrimp, Clam and Fish.
Put this in a blender with NO water. (Drain the juice in the bag.)
Place blender on high/puree and forgot about it for 10 minutes. You want a liquified mush with little tiny bits and peices.
Pour/scoop into freezer bags and lay them flat and thin in the frezzer.
To feed break off a peice about the size of your thumbnail and thaw it in a cup with some tankwater. Turn off all pumps. Dribble across the top of the water so it can sink slowly.

Now the hard part....go watch TV or take a shower, eat dinner play games or whatever for 45 minutes.
Turn the closedloop/powerheads on for a few minutes, then turn the sump/filter pumps back on. Easy and simple and 12 oz of seafood mix makes enough coral/fish food to last for a long time.
Supplememt with vitamins like selcon and phytopheast once a week and see if that dont perk ya corals up.
