cbianco,

coral stimulator is something CB pets carries, but they don't mix it up.

I can't confirm it, but I think this product is based on the concept of carbon dosnig (sugar/vodka). it's got a sweet apple cider vinegar smell to it. if it's a carbon source, then the dosing is pretty light, and it will simply cause the bacteria in your tank to bloom slightly while they eat the excess nutrients out of your water.

I have noticed my live rocks ejecting waste out of the the pores when using the product, which I expect is bacterial waste being pushed out by more bacteria growing, and thus perhaps unclogging the rocks pores? I don't know, I just know that when I use it, everything has looked happier. (granted i am only keeping a coco worm and a feather duster right now but that will change soon.)

I actually use Tahitian Blend, which i think is comparable to DT's but bottled locally so it's fresh.
