it is a good thing you stated this as they look exactly like one of my smaller sized GP I even had to grab some and look and I can't tell the difference, first thing that popped into my head was man I already have 2lbs of this stuff LOL

Default I like it
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?

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.
