Fish and Coral Food For Sale


Hey Everyone,
I just completed my messy project for the day. I made a batch of coral and fish food based off the famous Eric Borneman recipe in his book "Corals" and similar to ones found on the net. I didn't follow the recipe to the "T" due to difficulty finding certian items (DT's oyster eggs, fish roe, ect.) but I did manage to find a lot of great food and blended them all together to make a very concentrated and healthy, assortment of shrimp, mussles, scallops (no not the flame scallop that Greg sold me then died - sorry Greg ), silversides, octopus, squid, green sea weed, pellet fish food, selcon, Cylope-eze, Kent Phyto, Kent zoo, and Kent cromoplex, as well as mysis shrimp, two types of brine shrimp, and plankton (I had to add about 8 oz. of RODI water to the whole batch to make it more liquid during blending). I don't have the exact proportions with me at the time, but I can type up the whole recipe if someone wants to know it or what exactly I have in it. I pureed half of the meats and sea weed to a mush, then added the other half and chopped it so it is a little chunky. The idea is to create many sized bits of food so that corals of all sizes can eat it as well as small/medium fish.
SOOoooo, I was wondering if anyone wants to buy 5 oz. bags of this coral/fish food? Just to cover my costs on the food (which was quite high for coral/fish food - and Yes my aquarium eats better than I do!) I would have to charge $8.00 per 5 oz bag, and I will have 8 bags available to sell (The bags are Glad Ziplock made for freezing meat, so they are double lined and double sealed). I am also up for trades for cool corals and such. Just PM me or respond to this thread if your interested. Thanks for looking!!
David

See... I told you it would be a messy job! giggle

Are you going to go to the April meeting? Maybe you could take a few with you if anyone is interested in buying/trading.

I'm no longer working in Eau Claire; our shop moved to Chippewa Falls this week. But... I can buy a bag from you anyway. We'll just have to rendevous again.

Yeah it was messy, and I smelled like fish for a while today The fish seem to love it and the corals eat it, so I guess I completed my mission

I'm hoping to go to the April meeting, so if you did bring some along I'd be interested in trying a bag.

I will bring a few bags of the fish food if anyone wants it at the meeting on Sunday. If you intend to buy, bring a cooler and an ice pack to keep it frozen. If you know you want one, please PM me so I can bring enough.
Thanks and see everyone on Sunday!
