Okay, recieved my Reef-Roids last night and fed the tank for the first time. I just used a small little chunk of roids in the 20g.. turned the pumps off, and target fed a few areas (frogspawn, hammer, rics, zoos, anemone, clam) Just to see the reactions.... then I dumped the rest of the batch in the tank and turned pumps back on. My observations after the first feed:

Frogspawn - Slimed up, then shrunk up about half hour later (eating?)
Hammer - No reaction. [perhaps I didn't get enough roids onto it]
Rics - My blue ric's started puffing up in a couple areas. My green Yuma did not appear to have a reaction.
Zoos - Not all zoos ate this stuff, but my bullseyes closed up completely around the food.. pretty neat.
Anemone - As soon as the roids hit the tank you could see the tentacles go all crazy trying to catch the food, but when I spot fed... the thing just tried closing right up .. again, pretty neat.
Clam - You could tell it tried to eat some, it closed up and re-expanded.

My fish went pretty nuts as well... clowns were just swimming all over trying to suck it all up... my watchman goby went bonkers, trying to steal my pipette I used out of my hands.. he literally stuck his whole mouth over the syringe haha.

All in all, not too bad for the first feed! I was pretty impressed with the reactions, so long-term use should be pretty interesting. Looking forward to seeing long-term results
