Mantis's Reef food

[Cove Beach]

I am wanting to make up a batch of the fish\coral food and was wondering if anybody local had managed to round up all the ingredients and where they got them from? I'm getting low on the stuff i am using and want to switch over to home made stuff. I have a dedicated food processor ready for the job. Maybe if someone wants to go in on it we can make one big batch and split it. Let me know.

I've been making it a point to check Giant Eagle's seafood section the last couple times I've been in there, and most of the ingrediants don't seem to be a problem to get. I've seen fresh oysters, clams, scallops, muscles, and shrimp.

When I was thinking about making some I found the hardest thing to get will probably be the sushi eggs, as we really don't have a good asian store anywhere around here.

I may be interested in going in on a batch if it ends up you make some.

There is an Asian store in North Olmsted i plan on checking out today when i get over that way. I plan on doing this pretty soon, like maybe today or some time this weekend.

I am in if we are making a batch and can probably come up with some sushi eggs might be able to get a lg qty of them

I am going to try and round up as many of the ingredients as i can tomorrow. I think my sister has a Sams membership. My only concern is finding stuff with no phosphates in it as that is one of the problems i am trying to cure with this homebrew. Oldreefer76 if you can get some sushi eggs that would work, i don't know that we will need a huge amount. I will post tomorrow with what i have come up with. I plan on testing for phosphates before we start grinding up the stuff.
