Hey y’all just curious if any of you have ever used live BBS sold in the jar, by Instant ocean. I want to purchase this as emergency just in case a BBS hatching does not go well I have food for backup! Thoughts?

They won’t live long in the jar, so it doesn’t really work as an ‘in case of emergency’ type thing. I like to keep 2 batches of bbs going. Feed the 48 hr old batch. Longest you would have to go if something weird happened is 8-12 hrs before the next batch is ready.

another way would be to create a rotating set of jars. Make a big batch initially, then separate into 2 jars. Feed 1 right away, store the other in the fridge until the next batch is ready. Feed the batch from the fridge, then put the new batch in the fridge. Repeat
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
