    some more corals were purchased and move a few things around. i need to invest in a real camera rather then buying more corals :D sorry guys for the poor picture quality, and hopefully this will do for now.

    its about that time to again make some foods (3 quart ziploc) which they consume in three months.

    ingredients used:
    1 whole garlic
    1/2 lb. fresh shrimp, squid and scallop
    2 frozen packs of Hikari algae, mega angel and ocean plankton
    1/2 cup formula 2 pellets and 1 cup of flakes
    1/2 cup spectrum thera+ pellets by new life
    15 grams whole freeze dried cyclop-eeze since out of frozen one
    1 oz. garlic xtreme, 30ml Selcon, 4 oz. Zoecon and 2 oz. vita-chem

    procedure for mixing ingredients together:
    1. all frozen food Hikari cubes are soaked w/RO for an hour
    2. fresh seafood are chopped and blended to almost paste form
    3. add fresh seafood along w/Hikari products mix using spatula
    4. add all pellets, cyclop-eeze and all liquid vitamins mix again
    5. last item added flakes then carefully folding w/spatula but not breaking flakes into pieces

    Hmmmm, looks good and healthy. Probably go great on crackers. Try out on guests sometime.

    I use about same mix of foods as you, but keep the wet and dry separate. Maybe will try all together next food mix time.

    Couple of your packages would feed my tank for year. ;)
