It is the main food I use, but I also feed a small strip of Nori for the tangs twice a week. Once in a while, I will squirt in some live brine shrimp because I like to see the fish go hunting.

I ordered mine from RD on BCA & he sent it from Alberta. My water quality is higher compared to when I fed mostly mysis shrimp. I found that I can feed less because its a much more concentrated food so I don't have to feed as much & that helps maintain water quality. I have been feeding frzn mysis for years, but it is a messy food & nitrates & phosphate levels go up pretty fast. Unfortunately, its hard to say exactly how much better it is for reducing nutrient levels since I have a better skimmer now.

I do see that I don't have to feed nearly as much with these concentrated pellets and the fish healthy & colour are great (this according to my wife who knows nothing about the trial, so its an unbiased opinion). She now feeds the pellets in her tank.
