Well maybe we should stop posting so there's still some available on the shelves...lol....Kevin was saying it was flying off the shelves. Anyone know what the shelf-life is on these little bottles?

I don't know the shelf life.... but it gets used faster than Reef-Roids for certain. They recommend you mix it thicker than normal so I don't think anyone giving a "healthy" feeding has to worry about shelf life ha ha!

What about your tank's fishes or snails? Sometimes I target feed the LPSs and get these fishes ans snails cruising around, picking shrimps etc off the polyps.
Do they do that when you feed your acans?

Excellent questions about whether fish like it.... if they sneak off with the food before an LPS can finish..... and shelf life too!

Perhaps Red Coral can answer shelf-life questions for you.

I am now certain my spotted Mandarin is eating whatever she can find (Her response is immediate and fast for a dragonet). It's possible your fish will like it as well but remember it's particulate size is teeeensy and easily snarfed down by corals.

Fish haven't posed a problem for me as I take care of one colony at a time. My coral critters close, or "grab" their food quickly. By the time I'm three mouths ahead, the first has shut up nicely (if not faster). It took me only two days to train my LPS to do that. The fish, snails, and hermit crabs don't try to approach if I'm in there. I feed Nori as needed for my giant Cowrie but it really only horns very late at night.


So far, so good. Guess it depends on how your individual fish will respond tho I would definitely speak with Red Coral or Mjes here on Canreef.

Gotta run now... but not before wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday!

Will try to remember to pick some up the next time I'm in.
What with ogling all the corals and fish, I don't usually remember to do anything else. Seems like a great product all around. Can't wait to try it out for myself.

I almost bought some of this stuff last time I was in Red Coral, I'll have to remember to grab some next time I'm there.

It is fantastic. All my corals seem to like it.

My Favia is definitely growing and my bubble is outta control! Frogspawn has been regaining it's fullness and I have even moved on to trying it on my zoas.

I have a few "slow" growing colonies I am going to see if they do any better.

I am feeding about 2-3 times a week minimum.


UNFORTUNATELY my F@@@'n camera has stopped powering up and I do not know why. It had some issues when I first got it but it was repaired and now I am ****ed to see it having issues again.

Expensive little camera. I will not buy online again... as a side note. I saved money on the camera but have already had to pay shipping to send it back to Pentax once.... and now I believe I have to again. F&^%&%^$%&*^!!!!!
