Is this a sufficient food source for flames scallops?

I actually like better oyster feast I have seen more happiness with it. They also love frozen Cyclops the H2O life brand only.

I not sure on flame scallops but yes to crabs, general inverts, and all forms anemmoes .

Ditto what Genelee said. I have a large overstocked tank, had too much nitrates using biomax until I started using matrix. The anaerobic bacteria live deep, help reduce nitrates and that's why a highly porous substance works better. I am no expert but for me this worked. Also why I put large lava rocks (I found in the desert) in my tank- These big rocks saved the fish when the canister stopped and didn't notice for a week. I recommend matrix and get yourself some lava rocks, they look great, too.

Here is a great link on sea vegetables. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=foodspice&dbid=135

No I don't think so. I feed 3 times a day for 7 saltwater fish and it lasts a week.

Yes it is. It is a very good light I might add also...the Grape Algae went crazy growing in the fuge! And my Tangs love getting the fresh goodies to eat. Great little light.

Yes, but it will be more of a grilled fish with smoke flavor, not truly smoke-dried. You do not use a whole lot of wood chips in this, it is only to enhance the flavor while cooking. As long as the fish fits on the cooking plate, it will be fine. The plate is non-stick coated to help keep the food from burning to the cooking surface and it works really well.

You know that'a a great question---I have two biggies myself and I feed Honest Kitchen White Fish as a base food for them--dehydrated that I add water to as it's also expensive--then I sprinkle a half cup of Origen on top...so I would think anything you come up with that elevates the quality of food they injest would be positive. Good luck.

No it doesn't taste fishy. It is kelp and other sea vegetables. It is quite salty so use sparingly.

Yes. You will need plant food and enough life fish to create a self sufficient environment.

It can be stocked with pretty much anything, really, as the port openings are fairly large. I've stocked it w/black oil sunflower seeds, and also just plain wild bird food. I've seen only smaller-sized birds feed from mine, though.

At least ten Assassin Snails in my twenty gallons tank now. My experience is- they're good for eat up pest snails, not much effective for cleaning algae or any kind of residue.

sorry i don't know but i would imagine that the calorie count is quite low for seaweed.

So far we have only used it for salmon; each time it's been some of the best salmon I've had. My husband recommends cooking it skin-side up first, when the plank is the hottest, since the second side will need to cook a little longer than the first. We imagine it would also work quite well with scallops, shrimp, thinly sliced beef, or veggies.

Seaweed comes from all oceans in the entire world. Wakame grows especially well in cooler oceans and less well in warm, tropical oceans. The beneficial marine antioxidant mineral, iodine, is especially high in kombu (kelp), arame (kelp), mozuku (kelp), and limu moui (kelp). Iodine is moderately high in wakame and mekabu (wakame). Iodine is lowest in nori (laver), ogo (limu), and dulse. All seaweeds are higher in iodine than fish and shellfish. All fish and shellfish are higher in iodine than land-source foods. Iodine deficiency is common only in the Great Lakes states of the United States because they are farthest from the ocean. People who live within 500 miles from the ocean almost never develop an iodine deficiency. The reason is that iodine gas, which is excreted by underwater kelp beds, is blown in toward the land by the prevailing winds. If you want to eat more iodine, then just eat your seaweeds raw. If you want much less iodine than the seaweeds contain, then simply boil your seaweeds for at least 10 to 15 minutes and about 90% of the iodine in the seaweed will go into the delicious seaweed soup, which you can throw away together with the salt, which causes cancer, high blood pressure, stroke, kidney disease, and osteoporosis. Some experts believe that vanadium, which is plentiful only in seaweeds, fish, and shellfish, should also be classified as a beneficial marine antioxidant mineral together with iodine. Zinc, selenium, and iodine are widely regarded as the 3 beneficial antioxidant minerals. However, compared to marine life, terrestrial (land) life requires only a small trace of vanadium. Although it is not an antioxidant, magnesium is the most beneficial mineral overall because it has been shown to strongly prevent sudden cardiac deaths (heart attacks) in humans. Meanwhile, iron, copper, manganese, and aluminum are pro-oxidant minerals, which if consumed in excess, will damage every cell in our bodies.

I have a marine tank and the few corals I have under it are doing fine so far. My macro algae is doing great and it's a high light demand species.

No, it is meant for human consumption but because of recent studies showing how all spirulina contains heavy metals [as published on the website: www.naturalnews.com] I tossed the entire bag out. They hawk it for brain food [omega 3s]; so instead I went back to my old faithful which is Blue Green Algae. Algae is what fish eat in order to get the omega 3s which our brains so desperately needs. I hope this answered your question. Have a great day!
