Both products actually do work (according to the numerous hobbyists that have trialed these products) a brief explanation as to how you can read the following. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2014/09/ ... parasites/ The active ingredient in Hex Shield is Metronidazole along with Magnesium...

I stand behind each & every comment that I make on a public forum, here, and everywhere else. I have no problem manning up to that.

Thank-you. And on that note, that comment was not just unnecessary, it was incorrect. As a food additive, ethoxyquin is not banned in any part of the country. It is used in various raw ingredients destined for pet food, and it is still commonly used as an FDA approved color preservative in...

LMAO, what on earth are you talking about?  The first person to mention NLS in this discussion was none other than you.  Which was then followed by one of the vendors of Southern Delight (mrmann), and came off as challenging New Life's integrity, or knowledge base, and again later by one of the...

Correct, New Life has never added any type of preservative to their products, other than ample amounts of tocopherols (vitamin E), and citric acid (vitamin C).  Considering the fact that one can now source naturally preserved fish meal, there's nothing saying that their food contains any amount...

FYI - I'm not looking to rip anyones post apart, I'm just trying to keep things real.  "But, trying to shy a discussion away from it's focal point, by pointing fingers at another product is a tactic used by someone desperate to make a sound argument with little information to back it up. A...

Betty, I just realized that you and I are the same age.  I guess we go back a few yrs in more ways than one.  lol Well put, Donna. As far as the link to the oscar website, unfortunately the information found on that website is nothing more than the opinion of a person who is neither trained in...

Pike have been known to eat muskrats too, does that mean we should add rat hair as a source of protein to a fish food?     I can probably save a whole lot of typing by just posting a link to this past discussion, which included my personal view of this product line...

"Wow, really.... the fact that this stuff is getting any credibility is insane to me." I couldn't agree more.    Out of the tens of thousands of ornamental species of fish that are kept in captivity, I can't think of a single one that in its natural wild state gleans nutrients from the quill...

Cost per pound/ounce or whatever can really only be determined by the digestibility of the feed, as in the feed converstion ratio. (FCR) Basically what Betty was stating with regards to feeding some foods less than others, and getting the same or better results in growth & overall health, which...

It's not a cult Forrest, so you don't need to resist it like it's one. lol People feed NLS because of the sound science behind the food, and a couple of decades worth of successful feed trials. One doesn't need to feed NLS to have nice fish, but there are some foods that IMHO should...

You nailed it fish n vw. That food is NOT going to be healthy for any species of fish long term, I don't care what anyone says. Forrest, you think that in what, 30 days or less you can judge what a food is doing for your fish by simply viewing the fish in your tank? You obviously need to go...

Xtreme didn't make the chart. The person who made the chart originally posted it on eastcoastcichlids in Aug of 2010, which I linked to previously. I'm glad that you found it interesting .........

What food debate? You posted the link to the chart, not I. I was simply pointing out that it was a VERY poorly put together document, by somoene who clearly didn't know what the hell he was talking about ...... period, end of story. I wasn't debating about food. Whoa ........

and a link back to my discussion with the author of that chart ....... http://forums.eastcoastcichlids.org/showthread.php?t=5361 Rather obvious that Mo's pal didn't understand half of what I was saying.
