D-D H2Ocean Pro+ Reef Paste Food 270g is an innovative way to provide a nutritional diet for all fish and corals in the marine aquarium over an extended natural feeding period. The paste contains a blend of specially selected fish and shellfish extracts together with a sticky nutritional protein based binder allowing it to be stuck onto the glass or living rock. Reef paste has a complete balanced profile and contains a unique soluble amino acid feeding trigger to enhance the feeding response in both fish and corals.
To use:
Roll a ball of reef paste and stick it directly to the glass or rock structure. As the paste is eaten by fish it will release a fine particle cloud into the water which will feed corals, filter feeders and micro-fauna. The high levels of whole powered krill provide natural colour enhancement.
Highly Digestible
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.
This food does not require refrigeration but store out of direct sunlight.
