shakaho 6,312 Posted January 7, 2013 The green tinge in the picture of the finished gel is not there in real life. It's actually slightly reddish brown. There is a little green in the powder. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarSapphire22 230 Posted January 7, 2013 I use an icecube tray to make mine. My tank gets half a cube per day, that I cut into 3rds and drop in different places and then they don't have to fight over it. My icecube tray has 14 slots, so I just fill up one side and that is 2 weeks worth. It's neat and portioned out, and helps me keep track of the time before it goes bad better. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have time to pour it into the tray? Mine solidifies so quickly. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StarSapphire22 230 Posted January 7, 2013 Yep, as long as I am quick about it. If I'm too slow, I just stick it back in for a couple seconds. Most of the time, I can do it in one go though. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep I just did it and counted seconds in my head to see how long it took me. I keep the tray right next to the microwave and as soon as it's done I pour it right in. Took me about 15-20 seconds. I always have 1 ugly cube from scraping out the container I used in the microwave and putting that in a cube slot, it gets a little lumpy but other than that, it works pretty good. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bodoba 2,980 Posted January 8, 2013 I know to determine variations in colours while testing water you sometimes need to take out and regard it in natural light. Has anyone looked at their repashy outside or near a window to see if the colour changes at all? Mine is brown/green. I boil water, add it to the measure amount of dry powder, mix and pour. It looks the exact same as shakaho's. Sometimes I see specs of orange in there as well. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GoldenSpoiledRotten 6,786 Posted January 8, 2013 (edited) Well, this isn't what experiment I am doing, but here's how much I love my fish AND Repashy. Right now I am testing how Repashy powder looks when exposed to air for long periods, just to see if that might be the discoloration issue.

The color is the same. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I sent my Christmas buddy a mold very similar to that for her gel food needs! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
