The initial purchase price is high but you get a LOT of longevity out of them.
Kien pretty much nailed it down. You don't replace these, you just let them get used up.
When you get a chance read my thread (yeah, it's long, but you don't see anyone complaining about DOUG'S thread, so .. um .. yeah, so there. MINE has stuff like pictures and regular test results and stuff.)
@Doug - I was just getting at that I don't think the Coral Snow had anything to do with the LPS issues she had shortly after. Binding agents blah blah blah whatever, it's all good.
But thought it worth mentioning that when I hear torch lost a head and so on, I immediate think brown jelly disease. It's a nasty nasty phenomenon, happens every so often though. Lost some Euphyllia myself this way.
One day the coral is fine, the next day it is literally gone and if you don't notice the brown jelly right away it too will disappear thus leaving behind no evidence of what transpired. Just a dead coral skeleton.
FWIW, I do Coral Snow every day. No issues that I know of, just cleaner looking water. It should be a fairly safe thing to use if you ever wanted to try it again, Carmen..
