It's dosed by dissolving a measured amount in tank water and delivering it straight to the colony, and comes in 10 g, 60 g and 120 g jars to suit tanks of different sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBroad-spectrum marine protein blend\u003c\/strong\u003e — copepods, krill, squid, fish proteins, yeast, artemia nauplii, mussels, marine fish eggs and marine microalgae in one powder.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFine particle range (5–400 microns)\u003c\/strong\u003e — coarse enough for large-polyp feeders, fine enough for small-polyp corals and zoanthids from the same jar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo feeding methods\u003c\/strong\u003e — target-feed individual colonies with a pipette, or broadcast-feed the whole system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDoes not cloud the water\u003c\/strong\u003e when dosed as directed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree jar sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — 10 g, 60 g and 120 g — so a nano reef and a large display tank aren't buying the same size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSKU\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBarcode\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eForm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eON1009400\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e098731094009\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder, target\/broadcast feed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e60 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e098731094016\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder, target\/broadcast feed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e120 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e—\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e098731094023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePowder, target\/broadcast feed\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSuitable for SPS corals (including Acropora, Montipora, Seriatopora, Stylophora and Pocillopora), LPS corals (including Euphyllia and Scolymia), zoanthids, and soft corals such as Xenia, Clavularia and Anthelia.
