NLS foods - anybody using?

Thanks for all the replies. Always good to know the good & bad experiences people are having with a new product (at least new to me).

My wife is also sick of sharing our little freezer space with all that frzn foods, so that was one of the reasons for wanting doing this feed trial. Too many foods equals too much money & too much room.

I'm feeding the Theta-A stuff as well as the normal marine pellets. I'm not too sure what the difference is between the two pellets as the ingredients are pretty much exactly the same.

The TherA formula is higher in both protein, as well as fat, compared to the Marine formula. It also contains a mega dose of garlic, so much so that some people find the odour to be more than they can cope with. I personally like garlic, and find that if your tank is vented there is no serious odour build up caused from using this formula. YMMV

There's also a product review on the TherA formula posted here:

Grape or strawberry punch?

Where'd he go?

Ok, now back to the topic.

Last night I gave a few 3mm pellets to my LTA & RBTA & they grabbed them & shoved them down their mouths. Today, they're both looking fine, so the concentrated food pellets seem to be ok for them. I'm gonna take a series of pics of both anemones & see if they change (colour, size, etc) with this new diet, instead feeding of mysis, prawn & scallop chunks. A lot easier & less messy than what I was previously doing.

I purchased NLS cichlid formula from Neil some time ago and began feeding it to all of my marine fish -- they love it! My pair of Ocellaris' colour has really perked up since being on the pellet.

All my sw fish are now eating these pellets. That'll make things alot easier if we go on vacation since I can just get a couple of auto feeders & load them with pellets. Woohooo. The fish are getting the Thera Formula because I got an ick magnet (ie. Powder Blue) but it's clearing up & getting fatter, with good color so I'm happy.

My anemones (RBTA & LTA) will eat the NLS 3mm pellets, but when I fed them to other corals, they ate the pellets then spit them back up a half hour later.
