Downside to Garlic??

[MoMoney]

Has anyone had any problems using garlic? Does it affect corals adversely? Other inverts?

I have never heard or experienced any downside to garlic extract soaked food.
I have heard that if you use the pieces of the garlic clove from making your own garlic juice, and the pieces fall on some coral it may irritate some of them.
If you do this, do it away from the coral. The fish love the garlic pieces.

I haven't had or heard of any down sides either.

the new Aquarium Fish Magazine theres a huge spread on Garlic and its uses. i'd suggest reading it before trying any garlic treatments
