I got a wild hair to make some food for the tank yesterday. It was kind of fun, and our kitchen only smelled like a fishmarket for a little while. I think that this is a whole lot cheaper than buying foods elsewhere, I bought all my fresh stuff at hannaford for under $2.50 and the other stuff I already had here.
Im sure this will be enough food to last me for a while.

The ingedients - 5 whole uncooked shrimp, larger sized not the little cocktail types. 5 clams, 5 oysters, 5 scollops. 2 pieces carrot, 2 broccoli flourettes, 2 sheets nori, 1 clove garlic, and I added a little Formula 1, just 'cause.

Added carrots, broccoli & garlic into food processor. I added about 2 tablespoons of water too, to get even blending.

Soak your nori and break it up a little before adding it to the mix

Add your nori & some Formula 1 to the veggie mixture, and blend this untill it looks like a really really fine pesto. After this is all blended remove it from the food processor and set it aside.


Get your fresh seafood ready

Blend all of the seafood together, I let it blend for about a minute or so and then let it sit for a few minutes, I didnt want this mush to heat up at all from all the blending. I blended it untill it was extremely fine.

Add in your "pesto" and blend for another minute. Looks like, and smells more like baby food gone terribly wrong.

I put them in sandwich bags, labled and patted them down so its at the most 1/4 thick and put them on a plate and then to the freezer. This mixture made enough for 2 sandwich bags full.
I turned off my main pump for about an hour and just let this food blow around the tank for about an hour with just the powerheads on. I noticed everything from my palys, colonial polyps, nepthea & rhodactis eating this . My fish loved it too.
