out of stock at the moment unfortunately. turn around time is also slow... takes the producer a good amount of time to get the fresh supply and the freeze drying process etc...only the labels go quick lol...sorry guys we had a spike and everything (plus about 6) was purchased last week.
Unacceptable. What kinda of whack a** business you running down there.

Oh btw save some for me.

tell me about it! One of these days I will figure out small batch stocking and stay in stock more consistently, but it will be a few more years.... I am not what you would call a "quick learner".

how much of the magic would y'all recommend for a 75g
I've been doing a teaspoon 3x per week.
too much? not enough?

Nice nothing like some LE filter feeder food.

thanks! and a teaspoon sounds like a lot. It is fine, so it is pretty compact. I guess it depends on how much the fish are eating though and how you are feeding it. Targeted through a pipette you can get feedings of a pretty large tank with just a pinch mixed into a cup of water from the tank. Give it a good bit of dilution, you only need to feed a few particles at a polyp. One of the things I used to do was just blast a colony with food, but I found it lasts much longer if you sort of drizzle it on the polyps/colony whatever...
if you are measuring it against frozen food use 1/10th of the product.

getting it back in this week, supplier sent it today I should have it later tomorrow.

i also have a need for testers for a small fish blend. Product is safe, based on filter feeder formula minus the really small stuff plus some ground mysis and a blended maturation diet.

email me your address - i am going to send them out monday
the fish blend sort of went out. we sent out what we got, but it needs to be fixed. sorry guys, hopefully when it arrives you can do something with it. It isn't toxic or anything, it is just poorly sized, some bigger pieces etc..

A+ on the filter feeder formula. I'm getting the same results. I'm lazy so I like to broadcast feed- and it's making everything in my tank happy. Gorg likes it, zoas and paly's are spreading, and all SPS and LPS are showing significant improvement.
All my fish love it, especially the wrasses.

I gotta second (or third, or fourth, or whatever) this thread.
This food is amazing. I feed a pinch of it (combined with a pinch of freeze dried cyclopeeze) to my corals twice a week or so. Let is sit in a small bit of water for 20 minutes or so and then I use the piplet that it came with to target feed corals. My clown goby and clownfish LOVE the bigger pieces of it - and the porcelain crabs go absolutely nuts on it. All of my corals seem to be doing a lot better with it - and I attribute it 100% to the food.
The best part? 0 nitrates, 0 phosphates. With stuff like MarineSnow and things like that - it's RIDICULOOUSLY easy to overfeed. Not the case with this food.

Very tempted to order but will wait till I have some fish to eat the bigger pieces.

So let me get this straight. Is there no need to spot-feed when using this product? Even for totally non-photosynthetic corals which rely solely on these kinds of foods?
DHaut
Sep 1 2011, 07:42 AM
Spot-feeding is always more efficient. But I've found that this stuff is great for broadcast feeding as well. Personal style, imo.

i do a little of both - my candy cane - will not open up until i kinda toy with it a little bit.. so my feeding ritual is as follows..
sprinkle some flake - keeps my clown and blenny and cleaner at bay - long enough for me to get the candy cane interested in some food.
Then i spot feed the candy cane & frogspawn & sprinkle some by the sps.. Then i squirt the leftovers into the water randomly...

I broadcast feed only, but I've got a much bigger system with two fuges the size of most people's tanks on this forum... so it can handle nutrient spikes.

It will be back. Our main supplier for the blend doesn't keep inventory on hand, so it just takes time getting the product in when we run out. Filter Feeder Formula sales don't go in a straight line so I am never sure when to re-order, I don't want to sit on the product long and I am the only outlet so we do small batches...but I should probably speed up that process.

They deliver a much brighter colored product though then we received from the other more popular suppliers so I don't mind waiting.
