Roti-feast - opinion/experience?

hey guys,

just bought some roti-feast to help my corals grow. just wanted to see the schedules other people use with this. The guy at my LFS says to use recommended dose once per week while the actual Roti-Feast bottle gives a recommended dose to use everyday. Any use this stuff and if so whats your feed sched for it? thanks

I use it three times a week, but I know people who use it everyday

also, try to pour it in about an hour after your lights go out since most corals feed at night time

I bought it to try but I don't use it often. I like soaking my fish food in Phytoplan.

I got a Reef nutrition pamphlet with my Roti Feast:

Roti-Feast is a highly nutritious plankton feed perfect for hard corals, larval fish, and other reef carnivores that feed on small zooplankton. Rotifers are a critical feed used in marine fish and invertabrate hatcheries around the world.

dose?

when you use it do you use the recommended dose (2-3 tea spoons) of it? do you ever target feed with a diluted amount of it?

ive been doing a few careless squirts of the stuff in my sps tank every other night. I do this along side phyto and oyster eggs. I too was going to see if it improved growth of my corals.

ive been doing this for over a month now and....i cant tell if its really doing anything other than growing a significant amount of sponges in my sump.

I used it before oyster-feast came out. its alright but I prefer the response from oyster-feast even with LPS.
