Anyone feed Oyster Feast?

[nashorn]

Cool deal. I'm going to be a feeding machine now! I'm going to alternate between Reef Roids, Reef Chili, AcroPower and Oyster Feast!

+1 on the Reef Chili and Reef Roids. I been vodka dosing over 2 years now and notice I able to feed a everyday because of it.
I tried OF but didn't notice many SPS reacting to it.
Add AcroPower 2 mo ago and that made a huge diff in color and growth rate.

when you say reacting, what are you talking about? Growth? PE? Color shift?

Also good talk by Thales on Phosphates:

I'm about to start with some coral frenzy, since I can get it on amazon prime.

I just bought a bottle last night and was wondering if anyone else uses it? I broadcast fed about 10ml into my 75g. Gresh, is this good stuff or what?

Anyone feed Oyster Feast?

Nah - I dump maybe 3 teaspoons each of oyster and roti feast in my 75 gal tank every other day or so, sometimes every day and haven't had any issues from day one.

Now acro power on the other hand....

We sponsored that study, in the sense we sent all those products to them. Given how long ago it was, the Oyster product used was the Oyster Eggs from DT's Plankton Farm.

What kind of issues did you see with AcroPower? Thus far I have nothing but positive things to say about it after 6 months of use, but I haven't looked around to see what others experiences have been with it.

Do you dose the recommended amount? Do you dose it weekly or daily? What positive things have you experienced. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Nothing major. I do see a little cyano on parts of the sand bed if I use acropower daily. It doesn't present enough of an issue though to stop me from using it.

Oh, never mind, I thought you asked if anyone feasts on oysters.

Hmmm I'll answer when you use your old awesome 5 gallon jug avatar...

Daily for the most part. Mainly color and polyp extension, and believe it or not, the best example is a toadstool, not SPS. It wasn't growing what so ever, now its growing and the polyps are 2x the length. FWIW its not your common/average toadstool.

I placed my computer on the west side of my house to post that.
I also have been to wine country many times, I even spoke there.

I sure hope so. I mean, not talking when going places is kinda rude

Wine Country Reefers?
