With so many potions and powders on the market, how does the discerning reef keeper determine what to feed a reef?
Most corals have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae algae. The algae resides in the corals tissue, which the coral then receives nutrition from.
Most corals however are also carnivorous, and have a feeding apparatus for catching live food like zooplankton. Indeed in the oceans, where zooplankton may be abundant, it is a vital other source of nutrition for corals, clams and filter feeders. Fauna collected from deeper regions of the worlds oceans where light intensity is
low, will be more reliant on zooplankton as their primary source of food.
With the recent developments in protein skimmers over the last decade, unfortunately the zooplankton population within today's reef tanks may be minimal to non existent.
Some corals, clams and filter feeders, once considered of an easy nature to keep in a reef tank, may literally starve to death under the influence of today's powerful protein skimmers.
Reef Feast is a live mixture of live rotifers and juvenile copepods raised on a nutritional diet of Nannochloropsis and Tetraselmis algae, before being further enriched with HUFA prior to despatch. A natural product to replenish the effects of over skimming. Due to the diversity of micron sizes within Reef Feast, all reef inhabitants will benefit.
Reef Feast will keep for up to one week in a refrigerator. The metabolism of the live rotifers and copepods slows to a minimum, optimal nutrition on demand.
How often you feed Reef Feast will depend on the nature of your reef inhabitants and stocking density. As Reef Feast is a live food of saltwater nature, it will not pollute your tank, and is virtually impossible to overdose within reason. Indeed, any uneaten food may even reproduce under optimal conditions.
Reef Feast is the perfect food for sustaining Mandarin Gobies, Scooter Blennies, Sea Horses and other finicky feeders in un-established saltwater aquariums. Unfortunately many of these fish are sold within the hobby to consumers ill aware that they may literally starve to death in an un established reef, or within established aquariums with poor levels of micro fauna.
Reef Feast is also a suitable intermediate food for growing on juvenile marine or freshwater fish. Due to the diversity of micron sizes, it is not recommended as a feed for fry under ten days old. Before feeding to freshwater fish fry, the solution should be poured through a rotifer strainer and rinsed in freshwater.
