Rod's Food

Providing your salt water aquarium with the finest foods.

The Original "Complete Reef Food" with the very best ingredients that will feed your entire reef!

Along with the launch of our New Improved Website, We would also like to announce the New Improved Rods Food.

We've made the best even better by adding another plankton to the extensive list of ingredients in our foods.

The Original, Herbivore and Fish Only blends now contain Pacific plankton.

Pacific plankton (Euphausia sp.) is a small krill that highly resembles Mysis shrimp, but unlike Mysis,( Mysis shrimp are a fresh water animal that is very high in protein, but lack omega 3 fatty acids that our salt water animals need.) the Pacific krill is a salt water species that contains desirable omega 3 fatty acids.

Euphausia krill are commonly use as food in salmon farms because it gives the salmon their pink color due to the high level of astaxanthin found. We are not replacing Mysis with the pacific krill! We are definitely keeping the Mysis shrimp in our foods for its high protein content, but also adding the Euphausia krill for its omega 3's and its color enhancing abilities.

Providing your salt water aquarium with the finest foods.

Its not the variety of ingredients that make your fish, corals, and other invertebrates go crazy for Rod's Food, it's the way the ingredients are blended that generates the intense feeding response from virtually every animal in your reef. Anyone can take a list of ingredients and blend them together, but we at Rod's Food have many years of experience and learning that has made our blending process unique. Rod's Food is made by hand in our U.S. facility, not machine processed overseas.

Rod's starts by using only the finest, freshest ingredients.

We use whole animals, not just tails that are available at any local grocery store. Using the whole animal provides the most nutrition.

All ingredients go through an extensive rinsing process to rid our food of the STTP (sodium tripolyphosphate) that many of the freshest seafoods are initially preserved with.

We believe that when you pay for food, you should receive food! No unnecessary gels or food binders are added to Rod's Food. And our foods are not water packed!. Most users are amazed by how a small amount of Rod's Food can feed an entire reef. A little goes a long way!

Many users have reported less mortality with new fish arrivals because they quickly accept Rod's Food. If new fish readily accept food, they "settle into" their surroundings much faster. Many have witnessed and reported that mandarins and other difficult feeders readily accept Rod's Food. Fish breeders have reported quicker spawning behaviors. Here at our facility, we have witnessed new arrivals spawning within 45 days on 5 separate occasions in the last 6 months.

Your corals will love Rod's Food too.

You no longer have to wait for "lights out" or get up early to see polyp extension on some of those difficult-to-feed LPS corals. Squirt in just a small amount of Rod's Food as a "pre-feed" stimulant to initiate a feeding response from not only your LPS corals but your whole reef. You may even see creatures that you have never seen before come into the open to feast on Rod's Food. The highly nutritional small particles in Rod's Food such as oyster eggs, golden pearls, red plankton and rotifers benefit some of the corals that have been more difficult to care for in the past, including gonipora, gorgonia and dendrophyllia.
