can you freeze oyster feast?

[krak256]

i was wondering if its possible to freeze oyster feast. i have a 34g tank and cant use a whole bottle of oyster feast before its 6 month expiration date. i was thinking about squirting half the bottle into a ziplock, flattening it, and then freezing.

anyone know if that works? i figured it should be fine, like any other frozen food

I think if you freeze it ,it will lose nutritional value.Sell half to a MR member in the future.

hmm... well i was planning on freezing it probably closer to when itd expire, so i dont think anyone would want to buy it. my thoughts that less nutritional value would be better than tossing the rest away.

There is a good reason why it has an expiration date in the first place.

There is no expiration date on any Reef Nutrition bottle There is a "Best Before" of which if the product is stored correctly can be used for a month or more after.

To answer your question, I wouldn't freeze it. While we don't have any data on what would happen, it can do several things hypothetically.

I would assume freezing would cause the ice crystals to rupture the eggs reducing it to a soup with nothing for corals to capture and eat.
