    If so what do you think of it?

    Nice stuff. I like to use a variety of things. I use selcon, ESV, DT'S, and golden pearls. I also use cyclopeeze which IMO is the best thing going right now!!

    Thank You For the reply Darin ;D
    I am new at keeping corals so I am kind of clueless on what to feed them. :-/ I only have a Xenia Coral rite now and my LFS suggested the ESV Spray-Dried Phytoplankton. It says on the directions to use it every day but that seems like a lot to me, any suggestions? I have been using it every 3 days :-/

    Xenia will not benifit from phyto additions They thrive more on dissolved organics and light. Careful that you do not overfeed the tank with it or an algae bloom will follow!
