Most of those can be had at a fishstore, but I don't know where you can find one-stop-shopping for them in Knoxville. DTs is a Photoplankton mfgr. by DT. Silversides are small fish that are purchased frozen. Selcon is a food additive/lipids for growth. Golden pearls are (I think) a mollusk egg. Amino acids can be purchased locally, mfgr. by Seachem, Ecological Laboratories (Microbe-Lift), and Zeo (cha-ching on that one).
That recipe was design to completely feed your tank, from fish all the way down to filter feeders and clams. You may not need some of the ingredients depending on what you stock. Good luck! To obtain all ingredients is going to be somewhat costly depending on what you already have. I just use traditional foods with an occasional addition of Reef Chili (freeze-dried plankton, essentially, to get the small foods into the tank).

I have made the fish mush 3 times and let me tell ya its stinky and a huge up front cost but lasts forever. As cee states you may not even need the pricy things like oyster eggs and golden pearls. I stopped feeding the mush so much because it can add a ton of nutrients to the water. I feed it mostly as a treat now and use reef chilli or cyclopeze (sp?) for the small stuff every now and then for the corals. My fish grow like mad on plain ol flake, pellets (different ocean nutrition formulas) and nori so they must be getting what they need
