I don't know of anyone using this stuff, nor have I ever used it.
I had a look at their website. Ermmm, it looks like one of those too good to be true thingis, and/or one of those stuffed with beta-carotene and other colour-enhancing materials. They don't even show a nutritional analysis anywhere (unless I missed it?). If the person was serious about giving back to the aquaristic community he would not keep the makeup of his fish foods a secret on the website. Posting a ton og testimonials is also a sign to question the whole thing. It seems mostly geared for cichlids. You could go to saskatoonaquarium.com and ask there, and albertaaquatica is another website to check with too.
There you should have a very good chance of getting a reply about the product. On those two websites are countless cichlid keepers, and a few are bound to at least have heard about it.
Hope this helps. :)

Id be weary of any professional that stocks a tank that heavily. Not only does it look rediculous, I count THREE queen angels, TWO huge french angels and sohal tangs, and about a DOZEN powder blue tangs and moorish idols. Probably the only thing keeping them from destroying each other is the dense population.

Jon....I have seen 2 tanks similar to this (not as big) but stocked the same and I do think it is the dense population that keeps them from destroying each other. It may be a "style"/"look" that some prefer. Not for me.

I was just saying that if you do the math, 2000 gallons divided by 300 fish (which is the states density), that means he has on average 1 fish per 6.7 gallons. Some of those fish look like they are easily 20" long too! Its simply impossible for fish to be truely healthy with those densities even if water quality and diet are ideal, but to each their own I guess.
On a lighter note, Ive always liked the formula 1 and 2 flakes and pellets. They are suppose to be extremely healthy and Ive never had a problem getting anything to eat them.

Jon. That is what I am currently using as well. Just saw a post on this product and the comments were mostly positive so I am checking out their food. I posted the pic for interest sake and of course must be taken with a grain of salt. But again, I have seen 2 tanks crammed full like those photos and the fish seemed to be happy.........

Oh forsure. I am kind of interested in the finicky eater food, although its not listed on the ordering page.

I am going to order 5lbs to try.
Anyone interested in a share of the pail? I'll share it 5 ways. I would like to test it for a couple of months, keep notes and see how their claims stand up..
