    I just saw this on Fosters and Smith. I been looking for new ideas of things to feed my coral/tank. I been using Cyclopese and Mysis which I have been doing really well with. Just looking to throw something else into the mix and this was compared to reef snow which I have heard great things about. I like the idea that its supposed to come alive and whatever isnt eaten will live in the reef and not rot in the tank.

    There are some "interesting" discussions on it in other forums. Google it.

    Thanks. I am going to do a little more research but I am probably going to buy it. If nobody was screaming about it being horrible I would think either nobody knows or it isnt that bad. lol

    So my Reef Bugs came today. I mixed up a lot less than it said too. Followed the rest of the instructions and noticed no movement after 30 minutes. Fed the tank and I guess I will see if i notice anything over the next few days.

    I notice a little difference in my corals since I used this. Anyone ever spot feed with it? Or with reef snow?

    I get great response from any coral food. I tend to look and the nutritional value. Good stuff to look into is reef chili, or types of zoo and phyto plankton. I have so much food now I lost track. Lol

    Do you spot feed with it or just add to the water like directions say?

    Both. I start by adding to the water in high flow to get everyone going then 15 minutes later I mix up different foods together and spot feed. I mix rods, reef frenzy, mysis max, caviar max and copepods. That mix gets everyone feeding.
