any easy cultured item that has nutritional value to fish or corals?thanks Mike. it is catch 22 with them. at my LFS - price is way too high - if I go south where our membership discount is accepted, I pay toll on prkwy, gas, and time.
solution? get on club schedule of ordering in bulk during group buyins. it is tough, but needs to be done.

We started the brine culture for our mandarin but really don't feed it to all the fish, and once the mandarin is on frozen or we have enough pods we will probably retire the culture. We have reef nutrition phyto for our clam and we also use their artic pods which are nice. We have also used their tigger pods, but they tend to be canabalistic to we switched to getting DT pods every now and again to seed our tanks. For my corals I use rods coral food which is packed with everything for corals.
My fiancee put it best, reef keeping is not a science, more of an art form. You just have to find out what works for you.

rods food or any frozen food in general - it is my opinion and based on my experience that frozen food feeding creates a little spike in algae growth. i do not have many fish in my tank, i have decent size cleaning crew, so I try to feed less and not more. what i like with live brine shrimp that it is eaten on the spot. even my zoas were going crazy for them. so I am on weekly schedule of meat/veggie pellets 4 times a week, frozen once - day before weekly water change, and brine shrimp 1-2 depending how much i buy.

A phyto culture is similiar to a brine culture. You need some phyto to start put it is some salt water with an airstone and a light on them. Eventually the water will turn green, and you have your own phyto culture. You can get into different strains of phyto if you want to get really technical, just pay attention to what you start the culture with.

I have been hatching brine shrimp every day for many years (decades).
I could not be able to keep small gobies and bluestripped pipefish with out them.
I built a few of these, the eggs are put in the right, dark side and in a day they hatch. A black cover is put over the right side and the hatchery is put in the light. The shrimp swim through the hole in the divider to the lighted side. All the eggshells stay on the black side. I close the "door" over the hole and open the valve and the live brine shrimp are let into my tank. I feed them every day.
