H2Ocean SPS is a purpose engineered coral food that provides additional nutrition they need to flourish. Contains a soluble amino acid trigger that stimulates a fast feeding response throughout the tank, and a variety of fine particle marine proteins that will remain suspended in the water while the corals feed. To Use: Mix one spoon per 200-400 litres with a little tank water and wait for 5 minutes, feed this liquid into a high flow area. Feed twice weekly or up to once daily, depending on stocking levels and required results. Do not overfeed & always maintain efficient filtration. Highly Digestable Using advanced production methods and carefully chosen ingredients this new food makes the digestion process much easier and faster for both fish and corals. Due to this the amount of nutrition gained per feed is higher than previously available in many cases and consequently the amount of waste left over is reduced helping to maintain better water quality and reduce deteriorating conditions. All Natural Ingredients This new range of food uses a wide assortment of highly nutritional natural ingredients including spriulina, fish, tuna, mussel, clam, decapsulated brine shrimp eggs and other marine sourced proteins. This selection offers a much wider availability of essential elements, amino acids and proteins to provide a complete and varied diet to even the most demanding species of coral and fish. Special Feeding Trigger By selecting and infusing key soluble amino acids into each of these foods, this acts as a chemical scent which incites the a feeding response that will have fish going into a frenzy, and corals opening out within minutes of introduction to the water column. This trigger is essential in letting corals know the food is present so they can open up and capture the prey items efficiently before they are removed by filtration systems. Food Particle Size Each food has been specifically designed to provide a range of food particle sizes relevant to the animals in question, for example large polyped stony corals such as Lobophylia or small polyped corals such as Acropora or filter feeding organisms such as clams, gorgonians, molluscs, fan worms and other fauna both large and small. Feeding the correct particle size has been scientifically proven to offer a much higher capture and retain rate compared to capture and rejection. The end result, your corals will consume more food with less going to waste. Coral Foods and Low Nutrient Systems With more people looking to achieve low nutrient systems allowing strong colouration in corals, the numbers of colour masking symbiotic algae or zooxanthellae within the coral tissue reduce due to the lack of available phosphate and nitrate. This can in extreme cases lead to coral death or starvation, as it no longer has the ability to process so much energy from the light and must rely on direct nutrient uptake from the water. Corals such as this are very fragile and can be easily overcome by a variation in water quality or water temperature. Regular feeding with special H2Ocean coral foods (or similar) provides the nutrient uptake that the coral require to grow and thrive and goes hand in hand with low nutrient systems. May temporarily affect skimmer performance.
