However, if we were to take a bag of rice, repackage it as "specially formulated for reef aquaria and ideal composition for optimal nitrate and phosphate reduction", jacked the price tenfold, you'd have the next big thing and let's face it you'd make a LOT of money doing it. Who gives a crap about the reef tank, WHAT CAN I BUY NEXT?!?

I agree and nice use of punnage there!!

"hey this product kind of looks like rice, but it says its fabulous and that other LFS sells it for $5 more so I'm saving $5. I must have it!!!"

Sadly yes, I do go through the J&L/OA/OC websites looking for stuff I "need" and sadly don't come up with much often. Thats probably why my frag racks are full all the time. Suprisingly my wallet isn't though

As others stated, run it in a bucket of RO water, periodically replacing the water. This will rinse them off and get them back, you should be ok after that.

YUCK!!! is all I can say.

Confucius say: "Give a man a grain of rice and he'll grow a plant to feed himself".


Give an entrepreneur a grain of rice and he'll grow rice to package and label it "Reef Rice" and make a killing.


This is why Confucius lived in a grass hut.
