Just got my sample yesterday & the gorgonia is extending very well on it.

Does anybody know if OA got in their shipment of Reef-roids yet?

OK i've tried the sample for three days straight and I am impressed so far by this product. The powder mixes with water easily and does not float like other freeze dried stuff. The instructions were to add 1/2 teaspoon for each 100 gallons. I only used about 1/2 teaspoon for my system, turned off all pumps, and cut the return pump to a low output. I used a turkey baster and target fed my zoos, goniopora, and all my acros. The sizes look similar to that of rotifers (that I used to culture). I can't say i've seen any dramatic difference yet but I can see the polyps on the acros sucking back these stuff. In lieu of my future plan to culture rotifers, I'm just going to keep using this stuff. Looking forward to long term results.
Interesting effect on some of my acros - they started sliming when I fed them with this stuff. Not much though maybe a few strands of slime. Does anybody know if this is normal or a positive/negative sign for acros?

Chin,

I spoke with Polyp Lab about this product for acros and this is mainly for soft and LPS (filter feeding) corals. Not that it's harmful for acros but it wasn't really designed to benefit them.

Well after a couple of weeks of use I like what I see so far. I was almost ready to give my frogspawn its last rights and now it has almost doubled in size

, so I'm hoping this will continue. My ric's have also responded well. I will see after a couple of months if this progress keeps up.
