    Their is a new product on the market by Marc Weis called "Reef Bugs" and are basically living microbes similar to reef snow. You just add them to tank water or pour directly into your tank and within 30 minutes the microbes will hatch and be ready to eat.
    This may be a new ground breaking food for refugiums especially as a way of adding additional foods to your tank.
    The cost is $19.99 and comes with 50 feedings for a 100 gallon reef aquarium.8)
    Has any one else heard of this product or used it?

    I try to avoid all Marc Weiss products so I don't anticipate using this one either :)

    Just curious (as I'm new to this forum and hobby) why you all seem to try and aviod Weiss products at all cost? I'm just interested to know so that I can do the same if it's necessary.

    They have a reputation in the hobby for producing nothing but high priced "snake oil."

    Mystery ingredients with "Magic" claims. The old "don't add anything to your reef if you don't know what it is."

    I too would like to thank you for the info on Marc Weisse products. I have never used any of his products, but see them everywhere.
