Thats what I use and what I do. Who knows though, it is all a guessing game for the aquarist. DTs may or may not really help. Many aquarists have kept SPS for a long time w/o dts or any other liquid food supplement. Like I said, I can actually see some of my SPS closing their "polyps" around the small particulates from the food I feed my fish. I know they are consuming that, I can see it.

The list manager controls who belongs to the list. For example: -------------------------------------------------------------- From: John Doe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: <not needed> UNSUBSCRIBE --------------------------------------------------------------
