Here's one: 1. Stir macaroni into 6-8 cups boiling water. 2. Boil rapidly 7 to 10 minutes until macaroni is tender. 3. Drain macaroni. 4. Add 1/4 cup butter or margarine. Add 1/4 cup of milk and contents of cheese packet. 5. Stir until smooth and creamy. Season to taste. Recipe variations: While still warm, quickly stir in a concoction of blended Nori, squid, scallop, Spirolina powder, flounder, garlic oil, shrimp and other algae for a real taste treat!

Beware- I will try to post my recipe on the forum soon. It does get changed from time to time. I don't think I'm going to post all my recipes because of time and interest, but this is my favorite. I like this because it is all from a LFS and is very easy to do.
3 parts spirulina (this is the hard part to measure) 1 part brine shrimp 1 part mysis shrimp 1 part shark/ray (food made to feed sharks and rays) 1 part krill 1 part squid 1 part formula one 1 part formula two (sometimes I switch this for angel formula)
It all comes out to 10 parts so it is easy to calculate percentages. Meat is 50% without the formulas and Veggie is 30% without the formulas. So you know you are at least 30/50 without considering what is in them.

Beware-
Here is my grocery store formula. I don't usually have amounts measured out for it but I'll try. (think of every number as number of cups or ounces or whatever you want)
1 uncooked shrimp 1 small scallops 1 crab meat 1 cod/halibut/trout and from an oriental market 1/2 squid & amp; nbsp; 1 /2 nori (just crush it up to measure it) 2 spirulina 1 crunchy algae (lack of a better term)
I'm sitting on the fence regarding tuna fish and canned shrimp or clams.
For both recipes you can add things like garlic and vitamins. The garlic is a guessing game but the vitamins can not really be over dosed in my opinion. They can be, but you won't.

Addressing a question-
I would not add my cyclops (cyclopeeze) nor my golden pearls to my fish food mixture. I think once they get mixed with everything else they lose their attractiveness as a food source. I prefer to add them to the tank as coral food and not just mixed in with fish food.

I made some food last Sunday and my new fish just love it. I have a couple yellow tangs and a maroon Clownfish. I used the following in whatever parts I had:
- Salmon
- Cod
- Whitefish
- Baby Octopus (From the Asian Market)
- Shrimp (uncooked)
- Shrimp (Cooked, because I had it)
- A big bunch of Nori
- A really big bunch of crunchy algae (as Adam puts it)
- 5 cups of water (So it would blend in the blender)
I just bought a package of this, a pound of that and blended it all up. By the way this method makes a ton at a time so be prepared with plenty of zipplock bags, Icecube trays, or cookie sheets, whichever is your favorite way of freezing it. I made almost a full gallon of fish food.
Does anyone have any suggestions for improvement for my next batch sometime around a year from now.

what about adding a nutrient supplement to it like Celcon or Zeocon?
