Ask your self whether you'd rather astronaut ice cream [freeze dried] or frozen. Dried peas or frozen. Ie, I think it loses something in the process and probably acquires a nasty flavor the original doesn't have. Frozen's more trouble, but I think more of it will be eaten rather than sinking to the bottom or going into the sump.

The liquid life Marine Plankton (Cyclopeeze) is pretty handy. Just one little squirt and you're ready to feed.

Ha, ha..."I dropped it a few times," but frozen anyways cause it stays fresh. I might have to try the bottle sooner or later, but I like the frozen bar..."the fish and corals love it."

You keep the bottle frozen as well, I've got the exact set that Indy linked above as well as the freezer bar. Personally I prefer the freezer bar, but I've not dropped one into my tank yet so... Considering how clumsy I am, I'm sure it will happen sooner or later.

My kid dropped it in, came running into my bedroom freaking out. I found a half melted bar, and a giant red cloud. Corals and fish were happy that day. :P Id do it all over again, love that popcicle!
