I feed a pick of it so for you just a little a very little. You do not need much as a little goes a long way.

30 gram is around $7.99 and one can will last your the rest of your life, I still have that size can and have been using it for 3 or more years and I still have 75% of it left. I add very little to my tank. You do not need much! To much will cause algae problems.

I think that is a different food all together.
Cyclop-Eeze is a powder like form, flakes, and frozen. Supper small stuff!

I have powder and frozen. I like the frozen better than the freeze dried, the dried seems to float and the frozen sinks. I would mix the dried with some tank water and let it sit for an hour or so before feeding so it will sink better. a little goes a long way when I over feed it I get small cyno outbreaks.

I got it in hopes that my lps's will love it. I shut my return off and my hydor's sucked it in and shoot it all over the tank.

Have you noticed any difference in your corals from using this?

not to change the subject, I feed cyclop-eeze, I like the frozen better than the freeze dried but latley I've been feeding frozen baby brine shrimp and I see the feeders on my oddball brain coral come out like crazy. it hardley responds to cyclop-eeze.

Different size would be my guess.

I dont know the baby brine look the same size (by sight) as the cyclop-eeze.
