Calgary Homemade Food
 

I'm running out of homemade food and am considering making more food in the near future. However, in light of the huge number of no-shows in the past, I will be changing how I set this up.

I will be making this batch more blended then the previous ones, so it will be a smaller size. I will also be adding in additional nori to a few batches upon request.

I will make food for specific people but you must PAY BEFORE HAND. I will accept cash, paypal, clams, and frags. $10 per bag, frozen into flat sheets with 1 cup of product per package. Send me PMs with the number of bags, and how you want to pay.

I would prefer to make the food before September 28th, however, I need an order of at least 20 bags to make it work.

You're making the food finer? The bag I got was really fine...I feed it to my baby Bangaiis! :)

Would like a bag - pm'd

It would be about the same as what you got, if not a bit bigger. You got one of my personal bags, which I blend up extra much to suit my feeding needs.

Total bags of food as of right now 4

Catherine;
2 for Red Coral please. I add it with mysis when I feed (helps start finicky eaters)
Kevin

I WILL take a bag... Will you accept a Pagoda Frag as payment? :lol:

For my bag o food, I will trade you clams...2 pound of Manilla Clams...:lol:

I was happy with the last batch, so I would probably order some more. Could you give the break down of ingredients - I remember seeing it somewhere before - and will this batch have any oyster eggs ?

We are looking at 8-10 bags so far.

Ingrediants for this mix are, again, assuming everything is available to purchase;
- Mysis
- Nori (Greed, Red/Brown, Purple)
- Garlic (crushed)
- Scallops
- Vitamins (Selcon and Kent Zoe)
- Squid
- Krill
- Spirulina flakes
- Enriched rotifers
- Spirulina enriched brine shrimp
- Cyclop-eeze
- Silversides with heads and tails removed
- Cuddlefish
- Shrimp
- Oyster Eggs

I am also looking at adding in additional vitamin mixtures from Tropic Marin I believe.

Ah ok! I didn't know that. I still have lots left. My baby Bangers really go for it. It's the food that finally got them switched from live BBS to frozen! Whew! :D

will take four bags if available two at the least.


cheers!

We are at the 14-16 bag mark.

I am hoping to get to the 20 bag mark by Friday, if so then people can start paying and you can all have some nice fresh new food maybe by the end of the weekend, or early next week.

Some common questions that I'm getting;
1) How long does your food last
- Unopened food stays at least 6 months in the freezer, beyond that I don't know since it never sticks around any longer.
- Opened food lasts anywhere between 1-4ish months, this depends on how well you close your bag to prevent freezer burn.

2) How does the food arrive to me?
- The food is frozen into flat sheets.

3) Can I have XXX in our not in the food?
- Things can be added to the whole batch, or just a few bags, if I do your bags at the end.
- I can make batches without Nori, or without a couple ingredients, however I need to replace them with something.

** In this batch I will be making 2 bags without nori**


Does everyone want garlic in their food or not? I am considering not putting it in because it seems to ripen with time, and I've been reading about how it may cause damage to our fish's livers

I will take two bags please..... sent you a pm as well.

16-18 bags! I figure 3 more bags and I'll cut it off.

How do you ship it? I would like one but I'm quite a ways away.

She shipped to me in a small styro with LOTS of ice. They were still mostly frozen upon arrival from Greyhound. There were 8 bags in there I think.

Side note: One of the guys from our group order never did pick up his food (he got 2 bags). Maybe he'd like to sell/give it to you?

I'll take 2 for sure or 3 to make the 20 mark.
thanks

I'm in for 1. My fish loved the first batch I got from you.

Yes! However I will need to figure out how to keep it alive :redface:

Alright well we've hit the mark we are at about 31-32 bags.

So here is a quick update on where we are at. Since we've hit the mark I can make food now. So the options now; I can make it this weekend, however, I can't do any customizations. However if you are willing to wait I can make it in 3 weeks, so just after the weekend of October 4th. I can do customizations then, e.g. no nori. I will also be in a better position to ship out food a that point if people would rather I ship it.

Thoughts? Comments?

The colony seems to like being placed in close proximity to a powerhead or strong flow, and generally closer to the top of the tank.. I've had some pretty solid polyp extension the past couple days, so I know it's happy! I can hang onto it until after your move if you want? (if that is your concern)

Frag (about the size of a toonie):

That frag is awesome! I'm not worried about it in terms of moving, I'm more worried about in terms of the fact that I'm pretty naive when it comes to anything that isn't SPS or a clam! Those pictures are great!

I sent you a PM.

The sooner the better for me...I hear great things about your food even from guys back home in Sask...I will increase my order from 1 bag to 3 bags please...

Okay, okay 3 bags it is.

You have PM FYI.

Are you sure about that? lol.. i got nothing over here.. :lol:

BUMP!

Its looking like I will be making food the week of the 6th of October, ready by the Friday of that week.


I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY PM BOX. IF YOU DID NOT GET A REPLY TO YOUR PM PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

Alright so those who are going to pay via Paypal;

REMOVED please include;
- your Canreef name
- number of bags
- do you want it frozen, or you want to pick it up unfrozen.
- if you want garlic or no garlic

If you want to meet up to pay my options are looking like Friday night, maybe Saturday before 4pm, and possibly Sunday.

Picks ups will be from my new house located in the SW between Heritage Dr. and Southland Dr. I will start pick ups the day of food making if you want it unfrozen, and 2-3 days after freezing it for everyone who wants frozen sheets. Please note it can take up to 3 days to freeze completely.

Sorry...I forgot to add;

So people who want food are;
- Carmen
- Red Coral
- JDigital
- Yeeg
- Andestang
- Rattler
- Treebeard
- Xtreme
- Scuglass
- Triggerman
- dreef
- BC564
- md14? - I wrote you down, but didn't put a bag number down.

Total number of bags 40 + 12 extras because people always come to me between batches asking for more.

Yes I will ship, however, I can't ship out until the food has been frozen for at least 5 days. So I can ship out via your choice of shipper if you want it.

talk about post padding eh?

Sounds great to me, can't wait to start feeding my fish with your food.

I just picked up 3 of the bags you left with Kevin so I wont need anymore for now...Cracked it open and it smells good enough for me to eat...Do I need to dilute it at all?? I just simply throw it in the tank as is...

Its your choice to "wash" it or not. Washing it will wash away some of the good stuff; selcone, phyto, oyster eggs, etc. I just break it into chunks, and toss it into a container with pre drilled holes. THe food then naturally breaks up and floats out down through the holes.

I just thaw mine in a small glass,with tank water,that i use for frozen food.I know for a fact that they'll eat it frozen,but that can't be good :) I just sent you cash catherine,i'll settle up the shipping when the time comes. Thank You

So how do I paypal frags? :lol:

Lol! You and I will just meet up later. I need to find more literature on pagoda keeping.

HAHA! That's good, cuz the polyps did NOT like the USB port. :mrgreen:

Lol!

Alright, I have received payment from; Carmen, Treebeard, and dreef. That leaves 7 or 8 people left to pay, unless we have already come to an arrangement.

Got a few more payments, any stragglers need to get in touch with me or send off your money asap.

As of this point in time if I have not received your payment from you by FRIDAY OCTOBER 3rd, I AM NOT MAKING YOU FOOD!

So look up if you want my paypal address, and PLEASE! do not forget to specify if you want frozen or unfrozen food, and garlic or no garlic.

Frozen with garlic p-p-p-pleeeease... :mrgreen:
