Smile Reef Roids vs Cyclop-eeze

Hello all,

I have been using the product reef roids to feed my corals and such for awhile now, but last time in a LFS they suggested switching over to the product cyclop-eeze, now I don't know if this was because they just wanted my business because they don't carry reef roids, or if cyclop-eeze is actually a better product. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these products and would like to share their information/opinion with me. Thanks.

That sounds like a great idea. Any clue on how much cyclop-eeze I should use compared to reef roids? or is the dosage the same?

They are both good products, and each accomplishes slightly different goals. The food size in cyclops is slightly larger than reef roids so there is a difference in target species.

I'd stick with reef roids as your main food if I were you. Cyclopeeze is good for every once in awhile but overuse can foul your tank. Not sure what is in reef roids but I've never had the algae problems that regular use of cyclopeeze brings.

I'd just start with a pinch and go from there
