RGComplete and O. marina

I've been testing out the RGComplete with O. marina lately. O. marina certainly seems to survive on it (I was feeding 2 gallons 1.75 mL of RGComplete twice per day), but the culture density looks less to me than when I add NRich to the mix. If it were me, I would likely use RGComplete as a culture maintenance food (it's certainly easier than making a food mix and adding ClorAmX) and then start enriching when it came time to start feeding larvae. With the caveat: I have not used the RGComplete as a sole food O. marina and then used that as a long-term food for copepods. I can't tell you whether the copepods will get enough nutrition to survive long-term on that diet. I'm fairly sure Apocyclops will have no trouble, but it's just too early to tell yet. Any thoughts?

Feel free to suggesting something like NRcomplete or something. If you've got a need, please suggest it to us

Well, heck.  What I really need is a blend of the two. One part RG to six parts NR. You could call it "O. marina Diet" or something. My assumption is that the niche is too small for a mix like that to sell enough to work, but I'd pay good money for that. In fact, my LFS is putting in a RG and NR order for me this week, so I am paying good money for it. Seriously, Gresh, thanks. You guys make good stuff. I'm definitely getting better density of rots with RGComplete.
