DT's, Golden Pearls etc

[DJ88]

Who uses any of these kinds of foods? What kinds of results are you seeing? What doses are you putting in?

I feed 15 ml of DT's and two small spoons of 20-80μ golden pearls every two days. The spoons are the same ones you see in your sailfert test kit of Ca.

I haven't noticed any drawbacks as the DT's are live so they aren't being consumed by the bryopsis. If anything I think the feedings are helping out compete the bryopsis for food. I have noticed grape caulerpa growing very easily now where it wasn't before.

I can see all kinds of growth and new color on all the corals. Colors in a couple I didn't know were there. ;) Visible growth over a two day period. I am attributing this in part to the new reactor and the feedings. So I can't say it is ALL the DT's and pearls. But they sure have helped. In a big way I think.

I had used the ESV Spray dried phyto and had some success with it. But it was a hassle to blend up every two nights and I wasn't getting the resutls I have now.

As an added bonus I am noticing spaghetti worms and bristle worms galore. Even pods out in the open in the day. So my sixline isn't completely wiping them out. :eek:

Anyone else?
