Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted December 31, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 I just took a couple of pics of the Repashy I made yesterday then asked my husband to download them. (He has a computer he uses only for pics and I don't want to mess up what he's got goin on so I have him do that . . .) He just downloaded pics yesterday for me so he looked at the pics to see what I had taken pics of. The look on his face was priceless!! He says "Why are you taking pics of dog food?" I'll post them once they are ready. Keep in mind I added ProGold AND bloodworms to my soilent green so it doesn't look as perfect as the Spawn & Grow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted December 31, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 OK here's the food: Here's Bob enjoying a cube all to himself! That's why he's the biggest! And here are Swimmie and Fluffy enjoying some Repashy also. With Bob in the background working on his chunk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member fantailfan1 Posted December 31, 2012 Regular Member Share Posted December 31, 2012 I know! The one on the left is the Spawn & Grow. The one on the right is the concoction of Soilent Green, ProGold and blood worms. It's a little chunky. Next time I won't add as much ProGold as I see Fluffy is a bit floaty after eating it . . . They love the Spawn & Grow. I've only fed it once. I'll see if Fluffy is floaty after feed that. (It's the S&G I got from tastyworms with my gift certificate from stakos when I became a subscriber. ) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Pearlscaleperfect Posted January 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 I made some tonight!! mmmmm pre cooked disgusting blob mass cut and ready to freeze! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted January 2, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 Nice! I love seeing the different containers/moulds people use, and how they cut it up! How long does that much food last for you, PSP? I am assuming that's 1 cup of gel at the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member danielle15 Posted January 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 Wow, so much repashy! I made my first batch yesterday and didn't realize it would stink so bad. My mom thought it was disgusting lol. I only made 1 tbsp powder so not much and the container i used to cool it in was huge so I ended up with really small/thin strips. Thanks for this thread, so many ideas for improvement! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long does that much food last for you, PSP? I am assuming that's 1 cup of gel at the end. Last time it lasted like nearly a month, if not a tad longer. But I was supplementing the smaller goldies with progold where as I'm trying to give mostly repashy now. And plus my recent-ish additions are little piglets, so more mouths to feed! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Evening Posted January 2, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 2, 2013 I never cut mine up unless I'm going to freeze it; I just keep it in it's little tupperware and spoon out what I need for each tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted January 7, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 I wonder if there is a quality control issue with soilent green. When I saw Alex's picture of the green product, I just assumed the color was off. My soilent green powder is brown with a slight green tinge -- not even close to olive. I mix it in water, and it's brown (no green tinge). I nuke the mixture and it's brown. I mix the powder in boiling water, and it's brown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member yafashelli Posted January 7, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Mine is very green, and when it's made, looks just like Pearlscale Perfect's. It's never brown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted January 7, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 So there is variable quality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted January 7, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 That is very interesting. I've gone through several different batches of SG, and it's always the same color. This is another good question for Repashy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure you got a bag of community or meat pie by mistake then. That would be a SERIOUS quality control issue. I'm not the only one who has brown soilent green. When I took a tiny pinch of the powder and put it in a lot of water, the water turned greenish, so there's green stuff in there. I took some pictures last night and will get them posted, even though the color is off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted January 7, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Let's get all of this together, and I'll see if I can get a response from the company. Thanks, all, for your thoughtful and extremely helpful contributions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted January 7, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Here's a picture of my powder and the finished gel. This time, I brought the water to a boil, then removed it from heat and stirred in the soilent green. Usually I stir the powder into the water then microwave. The results are the same. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member dnalex Posted January 7, 2013 Author Regular Member Share Posted January 7, 2013 Shakaho, yours is recognizably Soilent Green, I think. It might be just a bit more brown than mine, but I'm not sure that I would consider it brown, I guess. Nevertheless, thank you for the pics. It is still something that I would like to ask Repashy in terms of their QC and control for lot to lot variation. If anyone wants to share pics of the Repashy gels, please do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
