Hey everyone, the last two weeks I've started to add a bunch of frozen food to RO/DI water to thaw and then just stick it in the refrigerator. I've found this really helps me feed smaller amounts at a time, but overall more times in a day because I'm not waiting for food to thaw. Just grab the container out of the fridge, give it a quick mix and squirt two or three turkey basters worth into the tank. I've noticed a drop in my overall phosphate levels because less food is wasted overall. My question is, how long would this food be ok to let sit in the fridge before it would be considered no good? 3 Days? 5 Days? What's your take on this?


To be more specific this is what I all add to my RO/DI water mixture.

Seven days is pretty much what I slack for feeding.
