    I have been feeding subject food for about 8 weeks now, pretty much exclusively with the exception of adding frozen mysis until my trigger started taking the pellets. Which took about a week...

    My fish have really gotten noticeably healthier - and its nice not to have to think about all kinds of different foods to feed. I feed reef chili once or twice a week for corals

    I got a compliment on my yellow tang which made me realize i should just throw this up about the food. He really is beautiful, especially when he puts his sails up.

    When i got him he wasn't that bright, and kinda orangy. I tried feeding newlife spectrum foods marine formula from bulk reef supply and now he is bright bright yellow.

    ...This is starting to sound like an ad.. haha

    I feed this food and mysis shrimp once or twice a week for the fish. Coloring on all of my fish has greatly improved just as they promised http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/Fish-And-Coral-Food-New-Life-Spectrum-fish-food/c56_116/p704/MARINE-FORMULA-1MM-150g/product_info.html

    It's the only SW pellet we have redily available in Trinidad. I've been using it ever since I started my first SW tank and I love it. I've also used it to condition FW bettas for breeding.

    My purple firefish loves it!

    OC1- The trig is still pretty docile. I figure he will go for the smallest fish first which is the damsel. So when/if that disappears, ill figure something else out.

    I like him enough to keep walking on the wild side though.

    ....time will tell

    I switched from Formula 1 to New Life Spectrum and couldn't be happier! Fish definitely color up well and seem healthier than with the Formula 1. I also feed Mysis a couple times a week because my Sixline and PBT love em! I too have heard nothing but great things about it as well, kinda why I tried it. :)

    I use the small pellets for finicky eaters and my fish love it. Even the leopard wrasse takes it.
