Seachem Reef Zooplankton is a concentrated blend of marine zooplankton designed to provide the essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids required for coral growth. This specialized formula utilizes a unique blend of organisms to provide a broad range of particle sizes (12.5–500 $\mu m$), making it an ideal food source for a diverse variety of marine invertebrates and corals.
Reef Zooplankton is engineered to provide the biological energy required by corals while enhancing their natural coloration.
Broad Particle Size: Ranging from 12.5 to 500 $\mu m$, it effectively feeds everything from small-polyp stony corals (SPS) to many crustaceans and filter-feeding invertebrates.
Enhanced Bio-Availability: Formulated to ensure nutrients are easily absorbed by coral tissues, promoting faster growth and improved polyp extension.
Natural Pigmentation: Contains natural sources of carotenoids, which provide essential antioxidants and help develop vibrant coral colors.
Nutrient Rich: Fortified with essential fatty acids and vitamins to support the long-term health and immune systems of reef inhabitants.
Stable Formula: Unlike many live foods, Reef Zooplankton is shelf-stable and highly concentrated, providing superior value and ease of use.
What is the best way to feed Reef Zooplankton?
It can be added directly to the water column in a high-flow area. For best results with specific corals, you can use a pipette for "target feeding" to ensure the polyps receive maximum nutrition.
Will this foul my aquarium water?
As with any food, overfeeding can lead to increased nutrient levels. It is recommended to start with a smaller dose (5 mL per 200 L) and monitor your nitrate and phosphate levels.
Does it need to be refrigerated?
While it is shelf-stable, many reefers prefer to refrigerate the bottle after opening to preserve the maximum nutritional potency of the fatty acids.
Seachem Reef Phytoplankton: The perfect partner for Zooplankton; provides the plant-based micro-nutrition needed by soft corals and clams.
Seachem Reef Plus: A comprehensive supplement of vitamins, amino acids, and trace elements to further boost coral health and vitality.
Red Sea NO3:PO4-X: Use this to manage the nutrient byproducts that can occur when adding high-protein foods like Zooplankton to your reef.
