It's a color enhancing vitamin you add to your tank. I however take the shortcut and add it directly to my suspension feeding routine once a week.

Where can you get that vitamin you add to your tank?

I know you can find it on eBay. I carry it in my store. I'm a supplier for them. The entire line they offer in supplements is amazing. I use pretty much everything from them. It's all concentrated no need for refrigeration if you can't. And a little goes a long way. A capful on most products treats or feeds 40 gallons worth.

I'm trying to locate it. From what I see it does wonders

It's an amazing product. I have quite a few people in my shop as customers and new acquaintances that are using it now. I do recommend buying a big bottle because you will not see a difference until you are almost done finishing it. The small ones don't last long enough to see the change.

Now it's just for corals correct?

Threadfin · May 18, 2013

Yes. I don't believe it has any effect on fish....being as I have an ORA gold flake still refusing to "gold flake" lol

I can't find it anywhere. But let me ask you this, I saw your pictures and noticed you have a mandarin any advice on these guys?

Threadfin · May 18, 2013

I love the target more than the popular red & green. That species is much more likely to eat frozen foods than the other coloration. When I put that little female in the tank she was very starved and sickly straight out of the bag. So I put her directly in the 60. She eats everything, pellets, flake, frozen, pods, and baby shrimp. I usually recommend to people who want a mandarin in a smaller tank to have a breeding pair of skunk shrimp with it. They breed like crazy and the mandarin loves hunting down little live animals like that. However if you regularly dose with iodide that will keep them from breeding and releasing babies. I'm not sure of the exact technical reason why but I have noticed since I started using it mine have stopped breeding. And they both were always pregnant together. Still don't know how that all worked out lol.

Sp definitely a mature tank is best. Mine has only been running for about 4-5 months. I was looking at getting a mandarin but heard they were hardy. But you seem to know what your doing so it might be easier to do following what I read in your post
