Calling all DIY Food junkies!!!!

Ok here's what we have so far

Tholton33 - ??
Pete H - ??
sponge - ??
beckerj3 - 2
nik - 4
Smouse - ??
neonbender - ??
me - 15 +

If I assume ?? = 2 bags, then we're at about 30 bags.

Because of the way the mixture works out, I would like to get to more like 70 bags. I know that's a lot, but this is going to be probably the best batch made to date. The way I figure it, a batch for 70 bags, each 16oz (that's 33% larger than the last 2 times we did this) is $12, and that could be stretched as far as 90 bags, each 12oz, for $9 each.

Just so you know, here's what I would "like" this batch to contain

The "typical" ingredients I already listed:
Shrimp
Scallops
Squid
Baby Octopus
Cod
Jumbo Krill
Blended Oysters
Spirulina Brine Shrimp
Bloodworms
PE Mysis
NLS Pellets (back in after reading Randy Holmes-Farley's article on phosphate content of foods) (I have this already)
Cyclops
BRS Reef Chili
TLF Zo Plan
TLF PhytoPlan
Coral Frenzy (I have this already)
Nori
Selcon
Marine C
Garlic Extreme

PLUS:

from Brine Shrimp Direct:
Bloodworms (instead of Hikari)
Brine Shrimp
Spirulina Brine Shrimp (instead of Hikari)
Rotifers
Daphnia
Mysis (reduce the amount of PE mysis)
Krill (in addition to the jumbo ones from Hikari)

Additional supplements:
Two Little Fishies Marine Snow
Kent Coral-Vite
H2O Life GVH Seaweed Soak

Additional veggies:
Peas
Broccoli
Spinach

I have kept this stuff in my freezer and it looks the same as day one after it was frozen, so you can make this last a very long time IMO. So anyone who feeds their fish, this stuff is great.

Speak up ASAP if you want some!!

 

Last time we did FOWLR food and large/aggressive food, and it was kind of a PITA to figure everything up. If I had to do it again, I would make them completely separate batches so the cost could be figured correctly.

That being said, is there anyone, besides Matt, who is interested in non-reef food?

The Large/Aggressive food would just be a mix of seafood with Selcon and Garlic Extreme. The cost per bag of the large/aggressive food would be much lower. Matt said he got it done on his own for about $5/bag

The FOWLR food would be everything in the reef food except the coral-specific stuff. I would think the only way we could get this done is if we didn't have enough call for the reef food. The frozen fish food from brine shrimp direct is all cubed which works out nicely for dividing up that stuff. The FOWLR food price would probably be a few bucks a bag cheaper than the Reef food, but not that much.

So I guess I'll throw that out there and we'll see what the demand is by the end of the week...
