Hey guys and gals! Who among us is dosing zooxanthellae? I'm curious about what results you might be seeing. I've talked to a couple of vendors and a few hobbyists who do it, and I'm curious about what the community might be seeing. Post your thoughts here.

By the way, I'm referring to products like this one:

Here's an article on it from Reef Builders: https://reefbuilders.com/2013/05/23/algagen-phytopure-zooxanthellae/

Thanks bud
I don't think my corals colors came via the zooxanthella as I only tried one bottle recently. I'm using AlgaGen but the cost seems to add up pretty quickly with shipping, so I might need to look for alternatives If i want to keep dosing.

Yeah. I was thinking you had said it was your first bottle (and your colors have been great long before that).
