What is Macrovore?
Macrovore is a liquid suspension of marine crustacean roe designed to feed corals, anemones, and planktivorous fish with nutrient-rich particles.
What does Macrovore do?
It provides a highly nutritious food source that supports coral growth, fish health, and improved feeding response.
What organisms benefit from Macrovore?
It is ideal for LPS corals, anemones, gorgonians, polyps, and planktivorous fish, as well as other reef invertebrates.
What is Macrovore made from?
It consists of North American marine crustacean roe enriched with amino acids, vitamins, and marine oils.
What is the particle size of Macrovore?
The food particles range from approximately 0.7 to 1.2 mm, making it suitable for larger coral polyps and fish.
How does Macrovore support coral growth?
It supplies proteins, fatty acids, and nutrients required for tissue development and skeletal growth.
Does Macrovore enhance coloration?
Yes, it contains natural pigments and carotenoid-rich oils that help intensify coral and fish coloration.
How does Macrovore benefit fish?
It improves feeding response and provides essential nutrients that support immune function and overall health.
Can Macrovore help finicky or newly introduced fish?
Yes, it includes natural feeding attractants that encourage fish to eat more readily.
Can Macrovore support breeding in fish?
Yes, it can help encourage breeding behavior in planktivorous species that are difficult to acclimate.
How is Macrovore used?
It is typically added directly to aquarium water or used for target feeding depending on the needs of the system.
Is target feeding recommended?
Yes, target feeding helps deliver food directly to corals and reduces waste.
Can Macrovore be broadcast fed?
Yes, it can be added to the aquarium water in a high-flow area for general feeding.
Should pumps be turned off during feeding?
Yes, temporarily reducing flow can help ensure corals capture the food effectively.
Can Macrovore be combined with other supplements?
Yes, it can be used alongside amino acids, vitamins, and other coral foods to enhance nutrition.
How often should Macrovore be used?
Feeding frequency depends on coral demand, fish population, and nutrient levels in the aquarium.
Can Macrovore be overdosed?
Yes, excessive feeding can negatively affect water quality, so dosing should be controlled.
How should Macrovore be stored?
It should be stored tightly sealed in a cool location to maintain product quality.
What factors influence feeding effectiveness?
Water flow, coral size, feeding method, and system nutrient levels all impact results.
What results can I expect from using Macrovore?
Improved feeding response, enhanced growth, better coloration, and healthier corals and fish in reef aquariums.
