    I have used it for @ a month. I cant see any noticeable difference, but the size is supposed to be better for the corals.

    I have been using them for several months as part of a zooplankton cocktail that I feed.

    I use them. I notice polyp extension instead of the "stringy things" sps corals put out when not happy with a sudden water chemistry change.

    My feeling is sps corals don't have to be fed in a tank with fish etc. And many of the plankton type feeds on the market put a lot of extra bio load in to your system.

    But with the small amount of oyster eggs added per directions, I feel it provides food and doesn't provide very much "extra" nutrients for your system to clear.

    I thought I saw CB Pets selling it, could be wrong though.

    ...And for you Austin folks, Carlos at River City Aquatics has them. His pricing (with the MAAST discount) was BETTER than what I could find them for online (not even taking into consideration the shipping fees!). I was a tad hesitant to buy them at first, as the "jar" is really small, but you only have to use a *tiny* amount to feed a lot of acros.

    Alex and Louis were both carring it. Haven't checked at the other stores.

    I like just buying one jar at a time locally. That way it should be a little fresher.
