Again James stated he's not doing this for a profit, if that's true and he's in it for the general advancement of the hobby wouldn't supplying his product to a producer that can supply it to a greater customer base be his best option?

Then again I personally think it's crazy not to make a profit off such an innovative product but who am I to talk just another opinion on the internet haha.

personally i think if anyone doesnt want to buy it because they dont know whats in it ....then dont.....isnt that the beauty of being a consumer...we have the choice to buy if we like and not to if we dont???

so far ive heard great things about what it does and great things about the maker and im not quite sure what the big deal is unless someone has had a bad experience they want to share??

making your own food isnt a new thing and if someone has made an awesome brew and wants to share it with other reefers then i say go for it..

if i made a kickass remedy i sure as hell wouldnt want anyone to copy it either

ya i bet if u added the top 5 ingredients in your product it would help with the people who need to see some stuff listed although i personally think that will open the door to a new thread stating ur keeping 5 ingredients secret and your product must be posion lol even after paddys steller before and after pics :P i mean i can say once i get some lps im going to be using ur product just from his thread i mean the colors he was getting before compared to after are proof alone it works for me

Ok, my 2 cents.
I've tried Acan Plus when I heard about some great things happening to others' acans/ LPS. As my tiny frags were not doing much but barely existing, I thought that I had nothing to lose. I bought and tried the stuff.
And all I can say is that, I have tried Reef Chili, but when I fed my acans, blastomussas, a tiny 3/4" frag of plate coral, and my other LPSs with Acan Plus, they all responded like nothing that I have seen before.
All my frags of barely living acans are now showing lots of fleshy polyps, my plate has grown to 1-1/2" and others are showing great colors and feeding responses, no matter what time of the day I fed them. And this is since after Christmas.
I didn't feed as often as Patrick did, either, just whenever I had the time and remembered to.
I don't really know what's in the bottle, just that it worked well for me. I have used lots of stuff in this hobby that I have had no idea what's in the bottle. Maybe that's wrong, but I think that everyone should have their own opinion as to how they'd like to manage their hobby.
And I also think that if everyone were to really read through what they have written down before they post for the world to see, we all could be saved from bad spelling and harsh-sounding comments.

It is my own decision to try something new, and this time, especially, I am very pleasantly surprised by the results. Great product, James. I will definitely continue to buy and use it.

The problem I have with your write up is this. In one breath you say your not in it for the money.
"My personal goal is, and always will be, to make the highest quality food to
promote the greatest amount of growth and just have healthy beautiful corals
PERIOD. I believe the growth and size of my corals speak for themselves."

Yet in another breath you complain about another company trying to copy your product. Of course its going to happen. You think Mr. Ford didnt see it coming with the automobile?

Personally I enjoy sharing information with other hobbyists whether they be someones private tank or major company. It only benefits the hobby when people share their experience, what works for them, what doesnt and so on. Its only when people try to hide what has been working from everyone else that this hobby with fall. Unfortunately I am seeing more and more of it as time goes on. I am not saying go hand your recipe paper out to Fauna or any other company, you have already done that by make your product available to the public.

IMO you should be proud a big company like Fauna Marin sees you as such a big threat they need to try to use your product to sell theirs. Acan Plus has seen such great results with just word of mouth along with posts here from buyers. Why not just enjoy your success instead of complaining?

Not to mention a little competition keeps businesses honest. Put out a good product for a good price and you will reap the rewards. I am sure you know this already with Acan Plus.

Now if this is a shot at someone or someones company maybe you need to take your drama off canreef. We have seen enough of it in the past year to get our fill.

To me you need from this post you are stating that you are unhapy with the Acan plus and you are just bitching end of story.

the Problem I have with your write up is >>>>>>>>>>

I don't think people care you have a problem. if you have a problem with his food ingredients then take it to a PM .. you my friend are the drama in this post.

WOW

Maybe you should go through the thread again and quote the posts saying how much I like it.

I know your just trying to defend your little buddy and I will say it again for you because it seems to take you a while to catch on. I am not attacking James or the product.
