JMsAquarium December 6, 2005 Author Share December 6, 2005 I am in! Just let me know what I need to bring. This will be after the Kalk party right? Is JM's place close to a metro stop? 46661[/snapback] Yes it will be after, before, I can't, and it wouldn't be fair to do it the same day as the kalk party. Closest metro is East Falls Church, Orange line towards Vienna. About a couple of miles but I can pick you up before the start time, no problem.

stevil December 6, 2005 Share December 6, 2005 Zac, Stevilregardless if you don't have critters now, you will eventually, right? 46608[/snapback] Yes, as exciting as water, rock and sand is, I do plan on getting some critters . I'm definitely up for whenver this is and can even take care of acquiring all the raw fish. There is a great international food market right by me that has has a huge variety of sealife, dried seaweed and other things that I'd imagine would be good ingredients. I'd just need the shopping list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMsAquarium December 6, 2005 Author Share December 6, 2005 Guys this is fine but can we start putting a full list of ingredients needed? After all this is one of the most important parts of the party, don't you say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake December 6, 2005 Share December 6, 2005 it will be easy if you go back to the post made mid summer at Steve's house or perhaps early Spring at Tony's house and copy those recepies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caribbean Jake December 6, 2005 Share December 6, 2005 This is Glen's recipe - you will find the original post under DIY posts. Fresh seafood: Some combination of the ingredients below and it makes up a relatively small percent of the total - maybe 10-20%? shrimp (squeeze the heads and usually use the "meat" in the fish food) oysters - blend well and may have Vibriostatic properties various other shellfish (mussels, clams, periwinkles, etc. - the bloodier, the better...live is great (shucking sucks but gives a good final product) Fish roe (sometimes available at Asian markets) Frozen foods: This makes up perhaps 20-30% of the mix - some are from an aquarium store, some from the grocer Artemia - adult Artemia nauplii (baby brine shrimp) (enriched, if possible) Mysid shrimp Sea urchin roe Flying fish roe Dried Aquarium Foods this makes up the majority of my mix - probably 40% Golden Pearls - all sizes available, but a majority of the smallest size Cyclop-Eze VibraGro Powdered marine flake Phytoplankton makes up maybe 2% of mix or less? Tahitian Blend (I use DT's seperately) Supplements makes up maybe 2-5% of mix? Super Selco ( a big squeeze) Sea Green Vitamin supplements - various brands, powdered, from Whole Foods market Also add Echinacea capsules, the skins of colorful vegetables and fruits, various pigment complexes of carotenoids, etc. and/or antioxidants from Whole Foods market. In terms of preparation, puree the solid seaoods, mix in the frozen ingredients, soak the dry/powdered ingredients in the wet ingredients, combine them all together and let them sit for a few hours, and then freeze them into small flats in ziplocs in the freezer. Usually wind up with about $50.00 in foods per batch and make about a gallon or so of food that lasts a couple or more months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMsAquarium December 30, 2005 Author Share December 30, 2005 Gang. I will have to postpone this food party til mid-end February. If the majority wants to still do it at end of January, I understand, but I will not be able to host it then. Let me know. Thanks JM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA December 30, 2005 Share December 30, 2005 If I picked up the ball on this for say 15Jan, 3pm at my place in Falls Church, How many folks would be interested in attending? Would have the football games on. Have one old blender to use and a small food processor as well. Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discordja December 30, 2005 Share December 30, 2005 Howard, this is the collected list over this thread. Don't think I miss any. Anyone else interested in hopping on board over and above this list? JMsAquarium jwildman rioreef HowardofNOVA Ne0eN stevil zmalexander Jon Lazar discordja 143gadgets Jean-Marie, are you still interested even if you can't host? It may be a good idea to see if BRK can get a bulk of the necessary goods for pickup over the frag swap?

HowardofNOVA December 30, 2005 Share December 30, 2005 I guess what we need to do is find out who has what, who is bringing what and divided it up when we get there? Suggestions on what you can bring? Right now, I have a blender, small food processor, 2 boxes of gallon size zipbags (Will p/u more), Nori sheets, garlic. Work on more soon.

stevil December 30, 2005 Share December 30, 2005 Work travel is going to take me out of this one. If you end up doing it in Feburary I'll be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rioreef December 31, 2005 Share December 31, 2005 The latter part of January will be better for me. If it is on the 15th I might not be able to attend (work trip to Daytona, which would also preclude me from a mid-Feb party). When a date is firmed up I will let you all know if I can attend, if not I would still like to get some of the food made. cr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkb8 December 31, 2005 Share December 31, 2005 Um, can I join in too? I've no experience in this and no raw fish to contribute, but am willing to chip in cold cash (much less stinky) to help defray costs. If we could somehow figure out the cost per person, maybe this would work. Also, could I pick it up the next day? I work in Falls Church so that would be most convenient . . . let me know.

fishface January 2, 2006 Share January 2, 2006 Hi guys: I'm in. Howard, let me know what I can contribute. I see garlic is already on the list. Is Super Selco is the recipe, is it part of the plan? FF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowardofNOVA January 3, 2006 Share January 3, 2006 Selco, could work! Who is planning on coming for this now and what do you have to bring with you? Let's try to have an idea by Friday what we HAVE to bring, so we can order additional to have by then? Johnny's prices are very good, so we will need to pickup at least a block each of Brine, Mysis and Cyclopeeze before then. Going by Jacobs list (rather long) but maybe we can narrow down by then.

Caribbean Jake January 4, 2006 Share January 4, 2006 ok, if you guys need a place I can offer my house (hope is not too cold outside to brew food), but I don't have a spare or available blender. I can offer the house late Feb. and anytime in March. Can we set a date now so we can coordinate? Also who is bringing the blender and food? What do you need me to buy? I need all these datails to make it another sensational WAMAS get together. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caribbean Jake January 4, 2006 Share January 4, 2006 forgot to mention. I may have several frags available that day... and yes we can also make it a frag trade party. but please keep the frag trade record on a separate posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
