    Just thought I'd share this cheap and easy DIY frozen food strainer with my fellow 3reefers. I just used a 1/8 measuring cup, some bridal veil, and a few rubberbands. We all know that the liquid they use to package and freeze their food is loaded with nitrates/phosfates. I use this to eliminate putting it all in my tank. Hope you all find it useful. ;)

    Here's a few pics

    This is easier than a regular old fish net IMPO. I thaw the food, rinse it in RO/DI and then into the tank it goes...

    Very nice! I should make one!

    Also, to be honest, my favorite part of this was the dog and cat :) (just teasing, but they are cute!)
