Nice post catmel!!! I think this is informitive for anyone...learned my lesson about RO water serveral years ago...wont go down that road twice!

me personally I dont believe in flake food (if you use it go hard) but I dont think it contains half of the nutrients of a good pelleted diet (and loses that little nutrional value much faster then pellets. I also find it can pollute your tank something fierce, and its muchy tougher to try...
