I haven't use it myself but I've heard from many of my customers that it's stuff! So great that I'll be carrying it..soon.

From what I was told, the 5-50um sized pellets are perfect for SPS and LPS. Many have stated that their corals tentacles comes out almost immediately as soon the stuff hit the water. They also claim that the neautral bouncy in the product makes the pellets suspense in the water column but have also heard that it doesn't do that for a long time....maybe an hour or so and then they'll sink just like other stable food. That's all I got.

Great article guys. I assume that Formula One and Two are Natural right? It claims on the bottle.

I used it to raise a batch of true perc babies. Seemed great. It's what Fingerwrinkles uses... (although in different sizes)

Where are you seeing that? I looked at every link provided knowing there is no Formula 1 and Formula 2 of Golden Pearls but wanting to see what you saw. The Formula series is produced by Ocean Nutrition who is owned by Envy.

Fish feeds are regulated. You can't use the defined word "natural" with out living up to the claims.

Golden Pearls, the basis of this thread, do not come in bottles but rather Mylar pouches.

talk about left field. We're not discussing that product, start a new thread if you want to talk about it.

Besides, I answered your question, see my post re: it a few back. Us fish feed manufacturers are bound by labeling laws. You can expect them to be accurate and if a word like natural is used, the product has to conform to the defined standard.
