Description
Although originally engineered for feeding the Goniopora genus, this product has been very well received in the hobby as an excellent food source for all filter feeding corals. The unique aspect of REEF-ROIDS is that unlike most artificial coral foods, they are not manufactured from the usual assortment of bulk ground ingredients such as krill, fish meal and fillers which are then dosed with amino acids to elicit a feeding response. Reef-Roids are instead manufactured from pure high density marine Zooplankton, thereby offering the most natural and realistic range of food types and particle sizes (150-200um) available to the widest range of corals and other invertebrates, many of which rely on key scent markers to identify prey as applicable to that particular species. Users have commonly noted that many Zooanthids, Mushrooms, Goniopora, and a whole host of hard corals both LPS and SPS show a remarkable feeding response. Additional noted changes with long term use have been increased growth rates and stronger colouration due to the more natural range of essential trace elements and amino acids found locked within the Zooplankton.
Reef-Roids mixes into water, rather than floating on the surface like some other coral foods. This mix through the water means that it spreads around the tank fully, feeding across the system and minimising waste by just being pulled into the filter. Importantly, Reef-Roids are not comprised of processed fish or similar items which can cause water deteroriation, but rather naturally occurring marine life such as plankton.
For ideal use, use 1/4 teaspoon into around 25g of water, and mix into a small amount of tank water in advance before pouring into the rest of the tank. Alternatively, this can be directly syringe fed to corals for target feeding, though circulation pumps should be turned off to do this accurately and without wasting any.
