Let me start by saying, this stuff is MAGIC in a bottle (or packet, more on that later). My corals have never looked happier since I started using Polyp Lab's Nano Reef-Roids. The color pop is unreal - it's like someone turned up the saturation on my tank!
The feeding response is insane. My LPS corals extend their tentacles like they're at an all-you-can-eat buffet. I particularly noticed my Acans and Duncan corals going absolutely wild for it. The fine granules dissolve perfectly for spot feeding with a pipette.
Pro tip: Turn off your pumps! I learned this the hard way when half my first dose ended up in the filter. Now I do 15-20 minute feeding sessions with circulation off, and the difference is night and day.
Now, the not-so-great parts: Yes, it stinks to high heaven (my partner calls it 'the fishy protein shake'). And be VERY careful with dosing - this stuff is potent. I accidentally overfed once and had to do emergency water changes to control nitrate spikes.
Also, heads up - it comes in a foil packet, not the fancy container shown in some photos. Minor annoyance, but worth mentioning.
For best results, pair it with Polyp Booster about 5 minutes before feeding. The combo makes my corals open up like they're expecting Michelin-star dining.
After three months of use, I've seen measurable growth in all my corals, especially my tricky Goniopora that was barely surviving before. Just remember - less is more! Twice a week feedings seem to be the sweet spot for my mixed reef.
