I did some research online and it sounds interesting. I think I will get some and do some experimenting for sure.

Thay have a product called "Combo Vital" that has Black Powder and Specra Vital that sounds even more interesting.

I am currently using PolypLabs "System Refresh" and I also have a Miracle Mud Refugium and dose the Ecosystem Fish solution so I am not sure if this new product would cancel either of these out or not.

What I think I will do is buy some of this and run 2 of my quarantine tanks with some live rock and a couple of Frags in each. One I will dose one with the product and one ill leave alone to see if there is a difference.

I occasionally use combo vital in my tank and in my opinion the results are inconclusive. The shrimp sure seem to like though.

In the past I purchased Marc Weiss product Black powder & Combo Vital for my reef tanks. Actually I just gave both products away for free a month back. I thought they were both a waste of money honestly. I did find the additives were a bit pricey and didn't find that I had fabulous polyp extension or growth, when I spot fed. Thinking back I did have cyna bacteria in those tanks at that time, but can't be sure it was because of those products.

A friend of ours that lives in Maui uses this on her tank and swears by it. I fed her tank with it while I was there on vacation.. zoanthids showed quite a reaction to the feeding. I would compare the feeding response to the same kind of response I get when I feed Reef Roids. I find Reef Roids to be great... totally gets my zoos growing.

Sorry this wasn't a very useful informative post.. just an observation.
