Polyp Lab Reef-Roids is a world-renowned, naturally occurring marine plankton mix designed specifically for the nutritional needs of various coral species. Originally developed for the challenging care of Goniopora, its success has made it a staple for all filter-feeding corals, including Zoanthids, Mushrooms, and SPS. Unlike many "coral foods" that are simply ground-up fish meal, Reef-Roids is a specialized blend of marine planktons that provides a high-protein, nutrient-dense diet without the excessive waste that can degrade water quality.
Reef-Roids is engineered to trigger an immediate feeding response while providing the essential building blocks for coral tissue development.
Instant Feeding Stimulant: Formulated to induce massive polyp extension within minutes of introduction, ensuring your corals are ready to capture and ingest nutrients.
Ideal Particle Size: With a range of 150–200 microns, these particles are the perfect size for both small-polyp stony corals (SPS) and large-polyp stony corals (LPS).
Minimal Impact on Water Quality: Highly digestible formula ensures that more nutrients go into the coral and less into the water column as waste, helping to prevent phosphate spikes.
Enhances Natural Coloration: Rich in marine proteins and fatty acids that support the production of vibrant chromoproteins and fluorescent pigments.
Natural Plankton Blend: Contains no processed fillers or land-based proteins, relying strictly on high-quality marine sources that mimic a natural reef environment.
How do I feed Polyp Lab Reef-Roids? Broadcast Feeding: Mix one teaspoon with a small amount of tank water for every 100 gallons and pour into a high-flow area. Target Feeding: For better results, use a syringe or pipette to target specific colonies while your circulation pumps are briefly turned off.
How often should I use it? For most reef systems, feeding 2 to 3 times per week is ideal. Monitor your nutrient levels (nitrate and phosphate) and adjust the frequency accordingly.
Does it float or sink? Reef-Roids is designed to remain suspended in the water column for an extended period, giving filter feeders ample time to capture the particles before they settle.
Is it safe for all corals? Yes, it is highly beneficial for SPS, LPS, soft corals, and non-photosynthetic (NPS) corals. It is even safe for other filter feeders like sponges and clams.
Polyp Lab Polyp-Booster: The ultimate companion for Reef-Roids; dose 30 seconds before feeding to maximize the feeding response and nutrient uptake.
Polyp Lab Genesis: A specialized bacterial supplement to help your reef process the extra organic load from frequent coral feeding.
