Share in homemade food?

[michika]

I'm keeping a running list. I hope to have a better idea of the total cost after. I've just finished making up the ice cubes. So now I really am leaving for the store, and when I get back I am going to try and post approximate sizes for the finished frozen product.

I will also post a tentative list of how much everyone wants.

My fish thank you (in advance)!

My local store is useless...at best they offer imitation crab...I will make a trip up north tomorrow to price out everything.

So people in for some;
Phanman - 2 bags
Langdon Reefer - 2 bags
Der_Iron_chef - ?
Dephinius - ?
24Storm - 2 to 4 bags
ElGuappo - 3 bags
Fencer - ?
Me - 2-4 bags

Total of 11-15 bags

I guess we should all finalize what we want in this mix of food, and how much we are buying/contributing/etc. I'm thinking the following;

- Mysis (Tony said he has a bit of an excess)
- Nori (I have some to give)
- Oyster Eggs
- Garlic (crushed)
- Scallops (they seem to offer the most protein per serving size, and are lower in cholesterol then other options, like quid, and shrimp, per USDA database)
- Misc. mix, which I'm hoping to buy
- Marine Sponge
- Vitamins (leaning owards selcon and vita-chem)
- squid (I have a package to contribute)
- Krill
- cylop-eeze
- pellet food?
- Spirulina flakes/powder?
- ocean plankton (I'm going to put some in my mix, but I can edit it out of others)
- enriched rotifers
- spirulina enriched brine shrimp
- cyclop-eeze
- silversides or smelt with heads and tails removed
- phytoplankton (anyone thinking this would cause excess pollution without being of any benefit?)

[ElGuappo]

are the spirinela flacks nessisary with the enriched brine? just thinking it might be one way to cut the cost a little.

Also im thinking i might like to up my order to 3 bags.

[michika]

I will be donating the spirulina flakes to the cause, I never feed it, and I don't want it to go to waste.

[ElGuappo]

cool. i can donate a half stick of cyclop-eeze. if its needed. and as far as the pellets go probably not a good idea by the time they thaw they will be nothing but mush. might be a good thing.

[Zylumn]

I am late getting in on this but I would take 2 bags if available.

Food is all washed, and almost ready for its trip to the blender! I am so glad I soaked this stuff for an extra long time, the color of the rinced water was just disgusting. I can also only taste and smell garlic....
