StinkinTuna · 02/25/2006, 01:34 PM

or

Which ones do you use for an all around food and which do you get better results with?

I love Phyto-Feast. Ive been adding it for about 6 months now along with Roti-feast and have seen some amazing coloring up of my SPS. great stuff!

Anyone else?

How much does a bottle of phyto-feast cost, is that also phytoplankton based? Where do you get it from?

Africangrey: I got mine from a LFS, paid $40 for it but think I can get it online for cheaper.

After knowing how first hand how DTs is made (strictly live concentrated phytos.. no additives or preservitives) I prefer the good stuff. the live stuff with no additives. I prefer DTs

. Some of you may have heard about or received the hand out the Mr Tagrin of DTs was handing out at the last MACNA (or IMAC?? ). Then there was a rebutal by mr Reed in his forum on RC. Well here is some more interesting reading.

took a look on the phyto feast site and read that the clams pulse when feeding on it. I thought that meant the food was of the wrong size shape??
I've been using DTs and was thinking of using both but dunno...

thanks for the link by the way

WOW very interesting read Rod, thanks for the link!

I have used Dt's for a while. I really was pleased. This time I got the Phyto Feast because I also wanted to culture the tigger pods I got. So I am just now going with phyto feast, I'll have to wait and see. I have been told that they are close to the same.

Well, that does indeed make for some interesting reading. I am not a biologist, but I am very experienced at finding mistakes in analytical experimental procedures. I read through this article in great detail and I have to admit that the procedures and methodology appears to be sound. Obviously, one has to consider the source: Phyto-Feast's biggest competitor. It's kind of like Energizer doing a study that shows how bad Duracell's batteries are. However, Dennis Tagrin's study does seem to be very thorough and very quantitative. By comparison, the rebuttals from Randy Reed contain no data.

I have to say that I have added my last dose of Phyto-Feast to my tank until Reed presents a better rebuttal.
