Vacuum injection of vitamins, all ingredients of marine origin, long chain aminos that break down in the fish gut and not the water

Basically the right kinda food ends up in your fish, not the water so you can feed a lot less and even finicky fish seem to take it.

Really good for small tanks where nutrient is an issue, probably not so cost effective for the peeps with massive tanks and bio loads

Sounds exactly like New Era
I might have to look into them as well,

I remember doing the test against NLS where you put a few scoops in a jar of water and give it a couple of shakes, the NLS turns into a chocolate milk shake with higher phosphate readings than the Hanna checks off and the Elos was clear and returned low range.

Be interesting to try it with the Era as well, which one do you recommend?
