I got a can from Robin at the last swap. I can bring you some.

cool.. thanks Andy.. I'm done with the drives. Did you get my email about the bits?

I have the freeze-dried. They carry it at Ultimate in San Mateo. I haven't used the frozen, but all the critters seem to enjoy this stuff. The problem I have with it is that if you just throw it in, it all floats to the top and stays there (which means I have to turn off my pump or it all ends up floating to the top of my sump). I have better luck if I let it soak in some water for a while and then toss it in.

Good to know.. thanks man!!..

Yup, I use it. IIRC, it's better than frozen too, but I can't remember why. I toss a pinch or two in a 50mL beaker that I fill with tank water. Let it soak for a little while and then turkey baster/dump into the tank. The longer the soak, the better, but if you use a turkey baster it'll all start down in the water column.

yup. soak it. Then I dump it right at the vortec. Works pretty well, though I think it mainly just feeds aptasia and my wrasse

 

[phishphood]

My wrasses and clowns gobble it up, and my cleaner shrimp go crazy trying to catch them. Nass snails love the leftovers too.

i recently got some golden pearls and my sps frags really extend out for them.

 

[saltwatersig]

scuzy , what are golden pearls? frozen? and where can i get some

 

[iani]

kensfish.com They are typically used as baby brine shrimp replacement food for freshwater fry.

thanks iani and one more question....what size micron for sps? sorry for hijacking your thread phong....i promise that was the last question for me

 

[Elite]

Hey no problem.. I highjack people's thread a lot so I don't mind ;D ... So these golden pearl good for SPS?? Is it the same frozen white stuff in a little bottle? I forgot the name of it : ..

 

[saltwatersig]

oyster eggs.....i have some of those...small container (frozen)...i feed once in awhile but never noticed any differance from feeding aminos or rods frozen mix. i don't think this "golden pearl" stuff is frozen because they ship ups ground...however ...i might be wrong.

 

[iani]

Not sure on if sps like it. I've only used it before when trying to raise some freshwater fish. Sergio you are right it is not frozen its a dry food.

 

[scuzy]

yeah the sps seems to extend out. But i am just started feeding it. I don't have a lot of corals. Just a few frags.
