I have an EcoSystem tank set-up and very happy. I used elixir but ****s expensive and hard to use (thick) so I picked up Kent Marine's garlic formula at a fraction of the price. Comes with an eye dropper so makes dosing food really easy.

just use the gel tabs that are sold at health and grocery stores. $4 for a bottle of several hundred.

just use a glove from the grocery store. allicin the active ingredient in garlic and its only released from fresh cut cloves. Supposedly it quickly breaks down and products like garlic extreme are only good for stiumlating appetites not immune boosting

One of my LFS is selling the Kents garlic for 29.99. I told them they were a joke. They also wanted 149.99 for a purple baslett.
Thanks for all the help everyone.
