Since switching to Optimal feed a number of years ago I'm really pleased at how well the fish are doing. The biggest plus that I have noticed in my pond vs. the Aquamax that I was feeding is less algae in the pond because I have to feed less food to get the same amount of growth.

Less passing through the fish to feed the algae is what I believe.
