Pour some on a glass top...get a blade..make 2 lines..whip out the straw! :naughty:
:ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

Maybe the Aro would do lines when he jump out. He could jump out, snort a line and dive back in the tank!!!

Very cool, I'm going to get some. Anyone have a ballpark guess on $$cost?

Check out this link......I think "Del" hit this one out the park! I looked into it and was wowed...very expensive and shipping killed me here in hawaii....This place del showed me seems to be very reasonable in price and also has krill powder and spirulina powder.....I recomend giving spirulina and astaxanthin powder in a special mixture...from what I researched it seems to be a winning combo!:headbang2

I put natural gravel in my tank for trial before the big move. It has a bit too much of orange in it for me, but changing the sustrate made an overnight incredible change in the color of my fish.

My buffalo head was so black before, it was almost impossible to see him, ever. Pleco was the same way. Now the buffalo head is light brown and orange. I wouldn't have believed the change if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes.

I'm still going to try the powder, but just had to share, because the change was so drastic!!!

Nice....I found out that both "A" powder and spirulina are really, really good for your own body as well....just a teaspoon of spirulina is like eating a weeks worth of vegi's....I like my veggie's by the way. Also, "A" powder is great for your eyes and cardio system and immune system...also a great energy boost. That what BioAstin is.....funny thing. They make all that stuff down the street from me and it's still and arm and a leg for the stuff.:grinno:

Astaxanthin - A Powerful Antioxidant and Eye Support
[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Astaxanthin is a powerful, bioactive anti-oxidant from microalgae, and has demonstrated efficacy in supporting good vision and eye health. Astaxanthin has been shown to be a powerful quencher of singlet oxygen activity,5 and is a strong scavenger of oxygen free radicals, at least ten times stronger than beta-carotene.6 Experiments with red blood cells and mitochondria from rats have shown that Astaxanthin is 100 times more effective at inhibiting lipid peroxidation than is vitamin E. Other tests have shown that astaxanthin is up to 1000 times more powerful than Vitamin E.7 A recent study shows that Astaxanthin is effective at protecting the retina, and that it is also effective at protecting photoreceptors.8 Astaxanthin was found to easily cross the blood-brain barrier (unlike beta-carotene).

you can go to GNC and buy the human formular (liquid gel) if you stuff the whole thing in a shrimp... or inject the A-gel into the shrimps...


I actually have tried spreading the liquid on freeze dried shrimp(wearing gloves...the stuff is super red) and put spirulina powder in a canister shook it up and BAM! power food....anyhow, the fish dont seem to mind. The gel is a little oily though!:popcorn:
