    I use scallops, shrimp, clams, mussels, garlic, selcon, and some broccoli. Run it through a food processor then freeze. My fish love it.

    4 ounces peeled shrimp
    2 ounces clams
    2 ounces mussels
    2 ounces oysters
    2 ounces spinach
    1/4 clove of garlic
    2 teaspoons of coral frenzy
    2 ounce frozen brine
    2 ounce of chopped krill
    2 ounces of frozen mysis
    2 ounce of vitiam C
    1 packet of gelatin


    Thaw any thing frozen, chop up shrimp and put everything in blender. Stop when solids are small enought for your fish and corals, but use the pulse setting. Take a small piece of egg crate and place on top of wax paper. Pour food into the egg crate and freeze. Now you have home made fish and coral cubes!!

    Cool
    Never thought of the egg crate cubes:)


    Thanks!


    BTW Picked up a sailfin tang about 2" and a Lunar Wrasse about 2". They are going in the QT.
    Yes I know the lunar will eat shrimp But I am setting up a semi aggresive Reef.

    What kind of vitamin C do you use?

    I found a Powder Vitamin C that was buffered but didn't say how and had calcium in it. The only liquid one I found had artificial flavoring in it
