Doug cut pieces of eggcrate with a piece of plexiglass to lay each eggcrate on.
Once filled we separated the sheets of eggcrate with plastic wrap for freezing.
Here are some shots of the whole ordeal. It took about 4 hours.
We had 29 eggcrate sheets. Still have a bowl of the concoction - tomorrow when we empty the eggcrate sheets and freeze the cubes in bags we will re-fill the sheets in order to finish what is left in the bowl.

Awesome pictorial!!

Can you post the amounts you used of each?
 
We use it mostly for our own tanks, will sell to some folks locally if they want some. We have alot of tanks and alot of fish so we just use it until we run low then make some more.
We freeze the cubes in those freezer bags by Reynolds where you have a device to suck the extra air out of the bag so it keeps really good.
It does smell TERRIBLE and NO, did not taste it (GAG) ! :bigsmile:

The amounts other than listed above on the original post are:
Tahitian Blend Algae Paste 125ml
SELCO Enrichment COncentrate 125ml
Decapsulated Brine Shrimp Egg 8 oz
Naturose Powder 2 oz
GP Reef and Larval Diet 6 oz
Freeze Dried Copepods and Rotifers were both 2 oz
Freeze Dried Blood Worms 1 oz
Freeze Dried Krill Superba 1.75 oz

These listed above we got at Brine Shrimp Direct where we also got the original recipe (Mac's Famous Fish Loaf) though over time we have changed it somewhat for our liking.
Here is the link: DIY

The rest of the ingredients our we got at LFS and local supermarket.
That gorgeous algae - can't remember where we got it - have had it awhile.
The reef nutrition items came from: Welcome to Reef Nutrition
