Cyclop-eeze

[DallasNYC]

Does anyone else use Cyclop-eeze? My fish go crazy for it. Maybe we can get a group buy for a case of the frozen stuff?

http://www.cyclop-eeze.com/cyclop1.htm

Figure $40 +/- for shipping and that comes out to $27 per 1.6 lb block (thats 25 ounces, the bars you buy at the lfs are usaully 3 ounces) or $13.50 for half blocks.

I also emailed Jehmco to see what their cost for a case would be.

So is anyone interested?

 

[wedfr]

i might be interested. Let us know what jehmco says

 

[Stix]

I'm interested.

I just received an order of cyclops-eeze and the stuff is awesome. sun coral loves it. John at jehmco is a real nice guy and he is working on getting the product into some local stores. It is currently available at NWA if you want to pick it up locally.

I ordered 2 blocks of cyclops and two bags of mysis shrimp and john laughed at me. He said I'd be feeding my tank for two lifetimes but I wanted to make it worthwhile with regards to shipping. John was so right. I need a bigger freezer.

I spoke with Jehmco this morning. They are real nice people. The cost for 8 blocks would be $22.25 each. Shippng would be around $12.00. So that works out to $24.00 a block. They told me that an unopened block will stay good for over a year in the freezer.

So Im down for 2 blocks.

Crakeur, I thought that cyclops and mysis served the same purpose. Or are you trying to provide a variety?

 

[DallasNYC]

Ok, I just noticed the mysis blocks are 5.5 lbs each. Man, Crakeur you really did stock up!

Do those mysis blocks/bags break up easily? I wouldn't want a whole block, but might try spliting one up with other people..

 

[Stix]

I want one mysis block and one cyclop-eeze block.

[zhangg3]

me too. I will also get a mysis block as well as a cyclop-eeze block.

I'm interested in the cyclops and mysis, but what are the dimensions for a block? I don't know if I have enough freezer space. What is frozen plankton?

 

[DallasNYC]

They told me the cyclops block is about 8"x10". They didnt tell me how thick.. but it looks to be 1/2 to 3/4 inches in the picture. I will give them a call tomorrow to find out about the mysis.

 

[DallasNYC]

The mysis blocks are 14"x7"x2"

 

[Crakeur2]

split the blocks up. bring a chisel to do it.
and baggies.

big fuggers. Two of them take up the whole damned bottom of the freezer.

I bought doubles of the mysis because I have my tank, the office tank and my dad's tank.

the reason for the mysis is that they are larger than the tiny cyclops-eeze bugs and mysis can be fed to sun corals and other polyps much easier and I know they have received a snack

 

[wedfr]

im definatly down for one block, Id also want a 30Gram can of the freeze dried if you can get a good deal on that as well.

Dallas,


Put me down for two blocks.

 

[Crakeur2]

wedfr, you don't need both. I was going to do the same thing and they talked me out of it. the frozen is far better and one block will go a long way.

 

[DallasNYC]

Ok, this is the order so far...
Let me know if I missed anything..

DallasNYC
2 cyclops
1 mysis

wedfr
1 cyclops
1 30 gram freeze dried cyclops (let me know if you still want this?)

stix
1 cyclops
1 mysis

zhanng3
1 cyclops
1 mysis

SWW1268
1 cyclops
1 mysis
(do you want the plankton?)

Archmage
2 cyclops


That?s 8 cyclops @ $22.25
and 4 mysis @ $24.75
Shipping has probably doubled with the mysis, so figure $3.00 each ($1.75 for wedfr), and I'll take care of any extra.

How soon does everyone want this? I was thinking of ordering it say Wednesday / Thursday next week. So we would have it by Friday. People can pick it up Friday night or over the weekend. Since the black out, I have more than the usually space in the freezer and my neighbor says I can use some of his freezer too for a short period of time.

People can pay me when they pick it up. Or if you want to paypal me, I will give you my account name.

crakeur: i would imagine the frozen is much better but i was planning on putting the dry stuff in an autofeeder. I figured for 12 bucks or so id give it a try and see how it worked out.

Dallas: You never got back to me on teh price of the dry stuff but if its $12 or less i still want it. if not then il pass and just get the 1 block of forzen.

Order whenever you want, i can get there pretty much whenever.

 

[frostbite]

Hi, if its not too late, can you add me to the list for one block of cyclops, Dallas?

 

[DallasNYC]

wedfr, the freeze dried is listed at $11.00 so I will include one in your order.

frostbite, I put you down for 1 block of cyclops.

 

[Stix]

I say order ASAP. Anytime is fine with me.
