Out of pure curiosity, what indicators did you see from you SPS that let you
know they were consuming and utilizing the food? Faster growth and better
color or what? Also, have you fed this to any other types of tanks, like do
you see beneifts adding it to tanks with mushrooms, polyps, LPS etc?
Thanks,
Shane C.
