    For anyone that has ever doubted the power of garlic, chop some up, and rub it on your finger tips....then stick your finger tip in your tank. lol. All my fish tried to eat my finger.

    Of course, I wouldn't recommend doing this if you have triggers and puffers, lol.

    I use fresh garlic...put it in the garlic press and then add it and some ro/di water to it and add that water to the food. The fish LOVE it.

    i use garlic extreme, the fish do love it and i was told by my LFS that it can actually help get rid of ick, so i believed him and bought it for 20$ and at first, nothing, i was getting a little upset b/c i wasted money but after the bottle was about 1/3 empty i started to notice there was no more ick, now since ive been feeding garlic my fish have gotten a little more colorful as well, and havent had ick since about a week into the feeding.. so im not sure if it was the garlic or not but, i do it! and the fish go nuts over it!!

    perfect..i read a while back that garlic xtremes ingredients were the same of pure garlic, whatever those are...if that makes any sense, there was no difference in garlic xtreme compared to garlic and its 20$ for the tiny bottle..

    I never understood the whole garlic thing. It never appears in a reef nor does vodka. To each their own I guess...::)
