No not at all what they dont eat as with all grazing food you can take out, but believe me my single Tang can eat a whole lump to himself.

Look at the feeding video there is nothing breaking up and polluting.

I bought one of these from progressive reef when i was there, I thought it was a great idea my fish picked at it for a bit but once i left and came home they had devoured about half a block. I removed what they never touched and froze it just wondering if it would still be ok to use?

Mike, it does look pretty interesting. I got several large tangs in my tank which include a semi picky Achilles tang. The only thing he loves to eat is nori. So when the unit is available I would love to get one. You know I really wish they would make the holder with magnets instead of the crappy old suction cup. Anyways please let me know, thanks.

Great stuff Michael thanks!

The Achilles was straight from a Hawaiian import into a retailer in the UK and both those and Moorish Idols are loving the product!

I can't remember who asked about how long it would last, but we would recommend having it in the aquarium for the duration that the aquarium lights are on so it more naturally replicates the grazing behaviour.

The great thing about the product is that whilst the larger, more aggressive tangs and such are feeding they drop tiny particles from the pellet which are taken up by shoaling / smaller fish. You can see chromis feeding this way in the pics and we have some Anthias which have done extremely well in our office aquarium.

There is also no "extra starch" in the formula compared to the other products. It's the process which makes this unique!!

Also, there was a comment about Spirulina, whilst it is true that this is a good source of colour it isn't a marine product and we tend to use this primarily in our freshwater products. There is a small percentage in here, however it more heavily relies on natural marine algae (of which there are 4 separate species) in different sizes, shrimp and other crustaceans which will replicate what these species would naturally eat. We always aim to use products they would naturally eat rather than products which may have other effects!

Andy
