Hey everyone, sorry for not posting this sooner I had some doubts that I could get it done this weekend but now it is a sure thing. It is open to anyone on the forums or in the club that wants to join in the fun.
This Saturday, July 19th you are all invited to my house to make some DIY frozen food and check out my system. I thought we could get together starting around 4:00 and check out the tanks and equipment. Then hang out and B.S. inside or outside depending on the weather. I will supply some hot dogs and chips for a little grillin'
Then we can move on to the Critter Grindin' Fun. We can have all the bags labeled and laid out in my fishy freezer and when you are ready to head out just grab yours and go.
Please bring your favorite beverage so I don't have to try to get every type to please every person. Alcohol is welcome but I have 3 children and don't want it to get out of control. Just a word of caution... PLEASE try to refrain from foul language. I know most of you are pretty good about it at meetings but in an informal situation maybe it will get more relaxed and the "F bombs" may start dropping. I am hoping my kids don't learn any new words
(like they don't hear it at school anyway)
I have decided that it would be hard to coordinate every person bringing something to add to the food and if one important ingredient didn't show we would all be out of luck. the solution is that I will buy all the supplies and depending on how many people show up we can just split the costs accordingly.
If we get 10 people and make 40 bags we can each leave with 4. If there are only a few people that show we can split it up differently.
I don't mind having 10 bags in the freezer if that's how it ends up.
If you already have purchased stuff for this purpose feel free to bring it and we can just make MORE and MORE
I will have a few lbs of assorted squid, oysters, octopus, shrimp, scallops, fish filets etc...
I bought golden pearls of all sizes, spirulina powder, nori, Naturose, formula frozen brine shrimp, krill, cyclopeeze, prawn roe and mysis and some Formula Two frozen to add to the mix.
If anyone has a fairly new and almost full bottle of Selcon, (fresh or DT's) phytoplankton or DT's oyster eggs or garlic extract that they could bring please let me know or I will run out for those items myself Friday after work. We would obviously calculate the cost of your supplies out of the final food cost for you.
If you would like something not listed here in your mix feel free to bring it. We can throw it in and blend it up afterward. I prefer not to add vegetables to the food for my tanks but some people like broccoli or other veggies. I just use the seaweed and spirulina for veggies.
I am unsure how many people can make it but I originally had a count of around 15-16 people that said they would come.
My address is 1240 Laurel Drive, West Salem, OH 44287.
Here is a link to Google maps of this address. If you just right-click the map and then click "directions to here" it will give you detailed directions. I am 20 minutes south of Wellington, 30 minutes west of Akron, 30 minutes southwest of Medina, 55 mins south of Vermilion, 50 mins from Cleveland, 30 minutes north of Mansfield, 45 south of Amherst and North Royalton. Jeff and Tom you are like 1.5 hr away out there in eastern PA or Chardon
I would appreciate if you could post a simple comment in this thread if you will be here so I can get a rough count of how much people food to buy. If you have any portable beach chairs or something you may want to have it in your car in case we need more seating.
