Errrr, I don't think you took into proper context what I posted.

My thoughts were that most commercial garlic products do not contain an active allicin ingredient. I'm not implying that garlic doesn't do anything, but rather that commercial garlic products aren't working as we're hoping they do.

Fresh squeezed garlic juice...no substitute !

IMO the fresh squeezed garlic is the key .

And it has the added benefit of making your house smell like an italian restuarant

A little for the garlic bread a little for the fish...a little for the pasta a little for the fish and so on.

I didn't want to get into this but...

From what I've read (nothing scientific) I was under the impresion that all garlic did was stimulate feeding. that way a sick fish would be more likely to eat and therefore stronger to fight the illness.

Correct! It's no miracle cure - just gives 'em the munchies. Sorta like the wackytabacky for us humans. There's no harm in using it except for making your skimmer go nuts. Just don't expect it to be a cure all.
