I think the bulk of everything can be found at the grocery store. Things that need to be bought or ordered from an LFS are the following;

- oyster eggs
- vitamins
- marine sponges (I'm adding this to mine, as I have an angel, I can skip it if no one else is interested)
- cyclop-eeze (I have a fine mesh strainer so I can easily clean these to add them)
- spirulina enriched brine shrimp

The tentative total right now is approximately 8 bags of product.

I have a bunch of nori I can add, in all colors.

Mysis was on the orignal list of possible ingredients. It will be in the mix for sure!

I would take 2 bags maybe even 4 depending on the size of them.

A bag would be a standard ziplock sandwhich bag.

I'm off to shop for prices.

I'm keeping a running list. I hope to have a better idea of the total cost after. I've just finished making up the ice cubes. So now I really am leaving for the store, and when I get back I am going to try and post approximate sizes for the finished frozen product.

I will also post a tentative list of how much everyone wants.

My local store is useless...at best they offer imitation crab...I will make a trip up north tomorrow to price out everything.

So people in for some;
Phanman - 2 bags
Langdon Reefer - 2 bags
Der_Iron_chef - ?
Dephinius - ?
24Storm - 2 to 4 bags
ElGuappo - 3 bags
Fencer - ?
Me - 2-4 bags

Total of 11-15 bags

I guess we should all finalize what we want in this mix of food, and how much we are buying/contributing/etc. I'm thinking the following;

- Mysis (Tony said he has a bit of an excess)
- Nori (I have some to give)
- Oyster Eggs
- Garlic (crushed)
- Scallops (they seem to offer the most protein per serving size, and are lower in cholesterol then other options, like quid, and shrimp, per USDA database)
- Misc. mix, which I'm hoping to buy
- Marine Sponge
- Vitamins (leaning owards selcon and vita-chem)
- squid (I have a package to contribute)
- Krill
- cylop-eeze
- pellet food?
- Spirulina flakes/powder?
- ocean plankton (I'm going to put some in my mix, but I can edit it out of others)
- enriched rotifers
- spirulina enriched brine shrimp
- cyclop-eeze
- silversides or smelt with heads and tails removed
- phytoplankton (anyone thinking this would cause excess pollution without being of any benefit?)
