    Up to you and how established your tank is and how big your cuc is. Ive made homemade food and everythign in my tank loves it. Its a mix of crab legs,shrimp,scallops,nori,garlic,vitamin mix,clams, squid. My tang will choose that over the nori strangley enough. My fish are watchman goby,sailfin tang,2 occ clowns,cleaner shrimp,valentini puffer.

    I feed my tank twice a day. Each time I feed, I feed maybe an 1/8th of a mysis shrimp cube. But like devlzluv said, it depends on your cuc. Just my two cents

    Heres what i feed my tank!


    4 ounces peeled shrimp
    2 ounces clams
    2 ounces mussels
    2 ounces oysters
    2 ounces spinach
    1/4 clove of garlic
    2 teaspoons of coral frenzy
    2 ounce frozen brine
    2 ounce of chopped krill
    2 ounces of frozen mysis
    2 ounce of vitiam C
    1 packet of gelatin


    Thaw any thing frozen, chop up shrimp and put everything in blender. Stop when solids are small enought for your fish and corals, but use the pulse setting. Take a small piece of egg crate and place on top of wax paper. Pour food into the egg crate and freeze. Now you have home made fish and coral cubes!!
