I thought it would be cool to do a big batch of food for everyone that is willing to chip in to it to make the batch bigger, and try to come up with a one shot food to feed everything for the most part. Maybe be nice to try to find some small cubes to use like some of the frozen foods do.

I think the frag rack and acrylic workshop would be cool, and who can't use a frag rack in the hobby.

I think the club can get the quote on how much it would be for material, and then people can help out with price per unit maybe.
 
put me down for about 3 bags of it.
An easy thing to do if you want cubes is to take a cookie sheet, egg crate, and plastic wrap. Put the eggcrate on the cookie sheet, put the plastic over the egg crate, then pour the food batch into the egg crate and put it into the freezer. I really dont know if you need the plastic or not but I think it may stop it from all freezing together. Would make serving sizes a bit more reasonable instead of trying to chip away at one big frozen sheet. Just a thought.
 
Sometimes, you can get scraps of black acrylic from Meijer Plastics cheap. We could always check with them if we want to make frag racks.
 
I posted my list of things we could go over on the club site. Please go over them and add to them if you think of other things.
 
Another thing to do for food is reuse the little trays frozen food comes in...... I personally haven't tried it but hey....it should work.
 
I just did that lorna, I was down t o4 cubes of my pe mysis. So I threw them in a cup along with some rods blood worms, cyclopeese and some other food. warmed it up just enough so it wasnt a frozen cube. cleaned out the tray and re poured the new mix in and put it in the freezer. Everything loves it.
 
That is a great idea. I have a tray that is now almost empty. I will save it for sure. If we don't do the food for a meeting, I would still like to see if a few would like to get together and make a batch of the FWMAS reef food
 
We need to do the food, no exceptions j/k. Is there a way we could get a list going of who wants in on it and how much it will cost per batch? Are we doing this at a meeting or are we just gathering at someones house to do it seperately?
 
Not at hte december meeting as she wil kill me if I stink up the house that much again this soon. lol
 
Jesse it doesn't stink up the house, everything is raw......what it does do is make a mess out of the food processor. I actually bought a cuisinart just to do the food with.....not that it doesn't get used for anything else.....

If a bunch of people want to make food I can see what I can pull together over the next couple of weeks.....I can get a bunch of the stuff we need ....depends how many people want to do it as to how much it will cost. If we use good stuff such as PE mysis and if anyone has some cyclopeeze they want to contribute along with some fresh seafood such as shrimp, fish, clams and squid we should be good to go. Also it doesn't hurt to add any oyster eggs or stuff such as that though it adds to the cost. I have powdered spirulina and selcon to add to it. It is pretty much a "anything goes" type of thing. Fish definitely prefer this to any frozen food you buy.
