ESV Spray-Dried marine phyto versus the real thing

[joseph1336]

Has there been a study or user experience with using ESV Spray dried phytoplankton versus the real thing?

Sounds too good to be true........

Tried posting this question in General discussion.........didn't get an answer.

I have tridacna, crocea & derasa clams, yellow gorgonian and various lps and sps corals. That would benefit from phyto. Any suggestions would be helpful.

nothing beats the real thing, i have use both. I can certainly tell you that the clams definitely do better when they have live phyto. The benefits are greater with teh live stuff as well. The pray dry product is not as widely avialable as it used to be either. Go live yoru clams will thrive.
