This actually happened a few weeks ago... got my order of Rod's Food in. My fish love it, and I like that variety of choices available to me.





The fish eggs are a treat that I use from time to time.

The Pacific Plankton is nice to use more often. And the main one I use is the Original Reef blend. He also offers Coral food, which is good to drizzle in the tank after lights out to those hungry polyps.

Rod includes a lot of stuff in his food, so a little goes a long way. For bulk feeding purposes, I prefer to use some of Rod's Food in combination with Mini Mysis & Cylop-eeze. Dry seaweed makes tangs happy too.

You can meet Rod at many big events, like this year's MACNA in September. He'll answer any questions you have. Here's a link to his site: http://www.rodsfood.com/ Ask your local fish store to carry it!

    I've heard of Rod's Foods from other sites. Knowing you feed these foods is reinforcement that I want to try them in my tank.

    I really want to get the phosphates under control in my 29 and not transfer the problem into the bigger tank. My RODI water and saltwater for water changes always test 0 phosphate (API & Seachem kits), so I assume the phosphates must be coming from the pellets I feed.

    I've read where others have had good luck reducing phosphates by switching to Rod's Foods. My only real problem is I never can find these products locally (even at the stores listed on the retailer locator on the Rod's Foods website). Did you order from an online retailer or are you lucky enough to have a LFS carry these products?

    I've got a store in the area where I can purchase it, but what has been convenient is that I can get it shipped to my door because I receive products for our club's events and sometimes can order my own stuff at the same time. I always ask the vendor if this is okay, or if they'd prefer to handle it differently.

    I've been using Rod's Food in my reef for over a year.

    I started using Rod's food about a year ago as well. My fish love it. The Fish Only Blend works well for quarantine tanks. The The Original Blend is my go-to for the reef though, there are goodies in there for every type of fish.... and plenty of little bits for the corals too.

    I've never tried the Pacific Plankton variety, I don't think my LFS sells it. I need to look into it as only half my fish will eat the Sally's plankton I have.
