I made two bags worth of homemade food(squid, shrimp, clams, octopus, and someother stuff in the bag) Ive been using it for 2 months now and havent even used up the first bag. Pretty good value I think. My fish love it.

I get my Sushi wrap from Fujia & the seafood mix & T&T superstore.

Things we take for granted: Hydro!

I was out for 15 hours and it was a stressful hell worrying about the tank. Couldn't imagine being one of those unlucky people that were out longer, I feel for them.

You can also save money on refugium lighting by getting a clip-on lamp with a CFL 6500k Phillips Daylight bulb or an old-fashioned incandescent lighting unit, rather than getting more expensive PC or aquarium lighting.

Grows chaeto & other macro very well.

So...dont keep me in suspense..The recipe

Bake 1 box of baking soda at 300 degrees for an hour. This burns off 1 carbon atom creating a carbonate instead of a bi-carbonate. The result is that it raises PH where regular baking soda lowers it. You can now add 1 parts washing soda as it is now called, to 6 parts baking soda for a completely neutral 2 part ALK (carbonate hardness) buffer. Adjust your ratio accordingly to either raise or lower your Ph a bit.

Its that easy.

Do I take it out of the box first?

Yes, I usually make a tray out of foil and then place it on a cookie sheet.

I feed my Puffer Raw Shrimp 50-60 counts from Safeway and it's cheaper then those frozen food from Pet shop. Just wait until the discount day and you get to buy 1 and get 1 free =) which I stock a lot of raw shrimp.. feed my fish and myself too =)
