    I use a syringe to repeatedly suck water + cyclopeeze in and out. I find that saturates it neatly a bit faster than just soaking.

    Yea I'm pretty disappointed this freeze dried floats. Did you ever try doing it in the food cubes? Or did you find a better way? Or give up on it? Lol

    I soak it in water and have a power head pointed at the surface of the water during feeding.

    I have San Francisco Bay frozen cyclops. Everybody loves it and it doesn't float.

    Any uneaten food floating is OK with me... Goes into my overflow to be filtered out.
