I've read the information in the link posted by the OP before as well as other articles and statements written about NLS, both positive and negative. I initially didn't think much of the product before using it as a staple diet for my own stock. The overall health and appearance of my stock changed my mind. I am very satisfied with the results of feeding NLS and will continue to use it as a part of keeping my cichlid and reef tanks. But I also don't expect everyone to support the brand. People will feed what they prefer for various reasons. No amount of arguing or "NLS vs X" threads will stop that. I have seen gorgeous fish fed on cheaper and sometimes even questionable diets but I still prefer to feed NLS over other brands because of the results in my own stock. I also agree with Clockwork about the size of NLS pellets in regards to waste. Feeding a pellet small enough to be swallowed rather than feeding a large pellet that has to be chewed for a while will leave little to no waste. I use the food daily and my water quality hasn't been diminished because of it. I don't really blame RD. for not jumping on this thread. He has to be pretty tired of stepping into every NLS battle on this site. With so many threads on the subject, it's quite easy to search them and read his previous thoughts on the matter. In the end we all should do what we think is best for our stock. Since we are individuals with personal preferences and thoughts, it should make sense that we will not always agree on how to care for aquariums and live stock. Leave out the personal jabs and comparisons to peoples religion. Have a civil discussion about the subject and move on.
Edit: I just saw that RD. did decide to reply to the thread. I guess he heard my typing.
