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. 

Adam

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?
