My corals really seemed to like the DT and I have no complaints about the kent marine products. I do feed my corals meaty produts when I feed my fish frozen foods. Pieces are always getting taken up. | |

I cut the air off on the skimmer for like an hour and just let it float in the tank. It gets a good feeding response. | |

O.S.I. marine flakes, Roti-Feast and Tigger Pods from Reef Nutrition, DT's oyster eggs, Sweetwater brand zooplankton, and home made phytoplankton. I feed phyto every day and feed one or two of the other foods mentioned every other day. | |
