The mixture was placed into freezer zipper bags with 10 to 12 heaping tablespoons per bag.

15 bags were completed, then placed into the freezer.

It is not uncommon for a mixture like this to have an unpleasant smell. However, the addition of garlic extracts really give it a decent smell.

Caution to the use of squid in frozen mixtures. The squid is rich in oils which makes a skimmer go nuts. You must watch your skimmer closely for several hours after feeding. You may have to turn off the skimmer to prevent it from overflowing. And I warned 240-Reefer about this before he left....

240-Reefer has a very large EuroReef CS-500 skimmer which proceeded to dump 30 gallons on his floor overnight... and not clear water. nasty brown gunk. You get that mess cleaned up yet?
