FEEDING REEF FORMULA

I tried feeding my fish with both Formula One and Two and, as I expected, they were both readily accepted by the fish and invertebrates in my tank. One of this food’s most interesting features is the fact that it contains particles of different sizes and consistencies, which allows all the fish to have their share of the food floating in the tank.
