It is vastly superior.  They should give me a commission... check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #62 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Planning a good homemade recipe - input please!

Monday, May 27, 2013 12:09 PM (permalink) 0 I use a pretty high-power blender. I don't think it's really a problem to have larger pieces of chitin. Anything shrimp-like in your tank will eat it (and need it for making their own shells) and the fish will avoid the larger pieces. --Andy, the bucket man.

Tuesday, May 28, 2013 11:12 PM (permalink) 0 I've been trying to figure out something better - to nearly liquify the food.  I like it to be very, very fine and have the gelatin hold it together.  I find the fish eat it better this way.  I know my fish don't like getting chunks of chewy things like squid or mussel.  They just spit that out.  I've been using a $10 food chopper, but think I need to invest in a blender.   Oh, I did find something interesting in the grocery store "pineapple cut" squid!  It is SUPER easy to process.  I was able to thaw it and put it in my food chopper.  The chopper handled it just fine!    Google it!

Wednesday, May 29, 2013 8:18 AM (permalink) 0 Lately I've been having a problem with eggs that do not hatch. On hatch night, they come free of the pot they are laid on, and lie on the floor of the tank, unhatched, heart still beating until they die. I've cut the krill in half.  Perhaps too much chitin... check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #72 GreshamH Total Posts : 757 Scores: 16 Reward points : 600 Joined: 4/27/2011 Location: SF Bay Area, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Planning a good homemade recipe - input please!

Tuesday, June 25, 2013 12:49 AM (permalink) 0 Kathy, did that final batch that you liked so much (with the amended 1/2 krill) is that still the winning ticket? Eggs doing better now that the krill is down to half the amount?    Also, have you found good places to order these 3 items... (FAF?) Where are you currently getting them at?  5 g kelp powder,12 g naturose, 12 g krill meal.    #74 KathyL Total Posts : 2639 Scores: 13 Reward points : 1504 Joined: 6/6/2010 Location: St. Louis, MO, US Status: offline MBI: 1605 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Aquarium Societies of North America Re:Planning a good homemade recipe - input please! Wednesday, June 26, 2013 12:05 AM (permalink) 0 I wrote an answer yesterday, must not have hit "post message".  Sucks getting old. My broodstock does seem better, but I 'm also feeding some Ocean Nutrition Formula One frozen food, and not just my own frozen food all the time.  Your results may vary.  Use my recipe at your own risk. Disclaimer!   Kelp is from the natural foods store, Krill is from Florida Aqua Farms, and I last bought Naturose from Brine Shrimp Direct, but it was a couple of years ago.  I keep it in the freezer.   check out Kathy's Clowns, llc website: http://kathysclowns.com Captive bred clownfish and more (Wholesale to the trade.)   #75 GreshamH Total Posts : 757 Scores: 16 Reward points : 600 Joined: 4/27/2011 Location: SF Bay Area, CA Status: offline MBI: 0 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Planning a good homemade recipe - input please!

Wednesday, June 26, 2013 11:21 PM (permalink) 0 Have you tried fresh to compare to it?  A two year decline is hard to notice, trust me, a certain large farm found out the hard way.     FWIW Nutrarose did not come in a clear bag (from the manufacturer)... a ton of companies repacked it using the name (no kosher to do, but they did it) and their own packaging.  Even the samples came in silver mylar.  It was shipped in the same bags we use for TDO and Otohime.  The clear mylar doesn't offer that great of protection from certain gases that will effect oxidation, not to mention the light factor.   #79 EasterEggs Total Posts : 1946 Scores: 19 Reward points : 735 Joined: 9/22/2011 Location: Saskatoon, SK, CA Status: offline MBI: 590 Pnts MBI Site: Marine Breeding Initiative (MBI) Re:Planning a good homemade recipe - input please!
