I can bring whatever...I think I should be able to order almost any of the fresh frozen (is that possible - sounds contradictory) through the store at wholesale pricing. So just let me know what I need. I think the smallest portion I can purchase is a 2.5 or 5 lb. bag though - may be overkill...

I agree. How do you like the one you tried? I also think that the simpler it is, the better. That way, I'd be more likely to make it again on my own. How long does it last frozen? I'd like to know that before deciding how much I want.

I have not made any myself I just mixed the 2 foods I have together. So I would say if we made a bigger batch that should last a while I only feed mine one cube every other day.
I guess I would say either the Pappone or Ozz reef one or this one Ingredients:
1 lb Raw uncooked shrimp
.5 lb Fresh sea scallops
.25 lb Calamari
.5 lb Whole smelts
1/2 cup Freeze dried cyclopeze
1/2 cup Freeze dried krill
.5 bottle Vita-Chem
.5 bottle Chromoplex
2 Sheet Nori
1.5 Cups of RO/DI water
Dont matter much to me but let pick one so we can start to gather the stuff

Keep in mind tthe availability and cost of ingrdients. I use Cyclopeeze regularly when I feed. Corals love it and so do the fish. But if you are calling for 1/2 cup and depending on how many batches you are going to make, it could cost a bit just for that one particular product. 30g of Cyclopeeze is $13.00 not including shipping. I am guessing 30g equals 1/2cup - 1cup, give or take. Same with the other products. I'd keep it simple if I were you.

I have selcon we could add for a vitamin supplement, I'd want to add some clams and oysters for meaty stuff, maybe some pellets, flakes or dried algea, whatever we have sitting around is easiest but the seafood will have to be bought. Unfortunatly I just ordered some stuff and should have added cyclopeeze, I wanted to try some but didn't want that much, I forgot about the food making, if I order again before the meeting I will try and grab some though. I wouldn't mind pitching it in.

I will check on the seafood as there is a place here that has fresh seafood,if not there is an asian store a few miles away that I could get some stuff I am sure.

BAM!! That's exactly it!! What ever you have laying around, unless someone wants to buy a jar of Cyclopeeze or something. The only thing I purchased was a mixed bag of seafood from WalMart. The other stuff was Cyclopeeze, spirulina (flakes and powder), other flake foods, Selcon, Nori and maybe a few other things.

you guys are talking about making food... can you use a food dehydrator and dehydrate this stuff. another idea is to use a vacuum sealer and freeze food. It keeps a lot longer
