Review of Gel Packets from MACNA 2011

Here, I said I'd do one since I like the product...

Great job on the review and welcome to R2R! Post more often please.

I picked up some Krill and Cyclopeeze at the show. The fish went crazy on the Krill, but not so much on the Cyclopeeze.

But that was just the first feeding. I do like the portion control and the ease of use.

I got some a couple months ago in a bucket of salt... I thought it was great stuff myself and my fish loved it...

I also got a free sample of this in a salt bucket. My fish go crazy for it, only problem is that some of the chunks are too big and must be hard because my clownfish carries the big chunks around the tank like a dog with a bone for about 5 minutes until he finally gives up and drops it....

My Powder Blue Tang LOVED this stuff, its really quit good for finiky fish!

[Rayzback]

Love the stuff! In just a couple weeks most of my fish have gotten to where they'll grab it as it's being squeezed out of the packet. Almost nothing goes into the tank. I've actually started to target feed a few LPS with it as well. Be nice if I could load it into my sea squirt :}

I've had the same experience with the gel food! My fish love the brine and cyclopeese. Here is a short video I took the second time I tried it:

After a couple more tries the fish are all over it, hardly any gets missed!

I am really liking it too.

I must be the only person to have no positive results from trying the food. I felt that is was to gooey for my palate. My fish also did not like the food.

My fish love it!!

My fish werent impressed. Lots went uneaten. I had the macna samples.

Update, my fish are starting to get with the program now. I think they were just scared of it at first. I put smaller bits in now with better results. I would probably purchase these again.

I take it and squirt it into a cup with some tank water and then shake it up real good. This allows it to break up nice and small (cyclopese) Corals are loving it as are the smaller fish.

I got a bunch of it last summer at the SERC and my fish would never touch it.

[milkman]

Foster and Smith carry them, possibly others. They put them on sale pretty often.
