That's a lot of food split between us and it should last a long while. I am pretty excited to see how it turns out. No silversides this time(really messy with extra chunks that fish won't eat) and we are changing how we are blending and cutting it so we get a better assortment of particle size.

I'd like to know more about how you do this - it's like 10lbs of food way too much for my blender. How do you mix this all up and when it's mixed how do you freeze it - ice cube trays? Also any clue how the PO4 in your mix compares to that of frozen store cubes?
 
Oh you americans and your football... LOL

Be thankful for our football - most of your stars are from here!

Skipping a Packers game and putting lobster in your fish food? What is this world coming to?

Im sure as hell not missing ANY packer game. That is for damn sure.

Most of the "reef" food that you buy has the same ingredients. We are using "human grade" food products so if anything it should be better.

That being said - most fish food is processed with phosphate. And that includes your reef foods. The only one that is "phosphate free" is rogers reef food - and I feed that as well. (Just not as much, because its expensive as all get up.)

We will blend all things separately - and mix them in a large bowl. In portions if necessary (IE make half a batch at a time)

Then we just freeze them flat in quart bags - and they are easily breakable for nice portion control. I have thought of going to the dollar store and gettin ice cube trays - dont know if I have room in the chest freezer though for 10 pounds worth of food in the form of 1/3 full ice cube trays haha.

This time with more controled particle size + better ingredients this stuff should be insanely good. Better ingredient list than anything on the market.
 
Think about this for variety - that is only one of five or six different frozen foods I feed. I only feed NLS two other times a day to round out the diet, get some extra garlic in there, keep color up, and fill up my fish.

And guess what - Im a packer fan too - so you are surrounded. I thought that was going to be a hard game although I didnt think the giants were that good of a football team. Good coaching though.

Cyaninde fish can actually have increased appetites though as well.

I seriously would cut the prazi - QM only uses it on special occasions - and like I told you before my brother and I talked about - to me it just seems like one more step to stress the fish out with.

Lol fleshy...good thing I'm not a raider fan lol...and at least I'm making $10 tomorrow, friend betted that his team would be the packers....yeah right the way they lost to the dolphins -___-

Possible... but I can't remember the last time I watched any sporting event let alone a football one haha. So I've got nothing to be thankful for with refference to sports lol.

Ha - that is legit then.

Im here to thank dustin for all the crap I got - hoping to buy some more stuff down the line.

Also his food will keep my work fish feed awhile longer haha.

You are welcome homie.

I have even gotten more than I bargained for when I went to buy this setup. Crazy, crazy amount of stuff. Multiples of everything and just stuff everywhere. I am still filling up spreadsheets to get a tally of what I have and start pricing and selling it. If anyone is looking for something, anything, let me know I probably have it. lol. A lot of the smaller stuff I would be willing to ship.

I am keeping a mated pair of Clarki clowns. I will try to get pics when I get a chance.

Update on the Midas in QT, he is doing great and eating aggressively. In the same tank that the cleaner died with the carbon running.
 
It's a shame I can't set a tank up now or I'd definatly take some stuff off your hands. That said... I mite set up a couple gal nano next semester, with some softies, and maybe some shrimp, just to keep me entertianed.

That's not a bad idea. Maybe a small goby too. I have seen some really sweet tiny gobies recently.

I'll probably hit you up after the holidays for some stuff depending on what you have; I need to get a few things for the eel aquarium to get it looking good.
