What are the advantages of the polyp extending??? I am assuming to be closer to the light but does this mean the colonies will grow better or is it just for looks purposes?

Do you mean that your polyps are extending towards the top of your tank (towards the lights)? If so, it could mean that your bulbs are getting weak

Im using this reef supplement that said one of the benefits to using their product is that you will get better polyp extention. i was just wondering why that might be benefical for the polyps.

Just out of curiousity what product is it? Many claim to do certain things and are just dressed up versions of other things that are more common and less expensive.

I'm sure poylp extension on zoo's is referring to actual growth.

pretty much the same thing as coralvital. you dont need it. its pretty much a waste of money. and if you OD you can really pollute your tank fast.

I agree if you are going to feed corals, I would recommend a spot feeding techique with cyclopeez, reef chilli, DT's. A general food supplement to a tank can go bad real fast. I have used Marine Snow in the past and it worked fairly well but it has be closely metered. $.02
