What is Microvore?
Microvore is a liquid suspension of microencapsulated marine nutrients designed to feed corals, filter feeders, and small reef organisms.
What does Microvore do?
It delivers fine particulate nutrition that supports coral growth, feeding response, and overall reef health.
What organisms benefit from Microvore?
It is ideal for SPS corals, soft corals, feather dusters, clams, sponges, and other filter-feeding invertebrates.
What makes Microvore unique?
It contains microencapsulated particles that remain suspended in the water column, making them easily accessible to small feeders.
What nutrients are in Microvore?
It provides marine-derived proteins, amino acids, lipids, vitamins, and trace nutrients essential for reef organisms.
What is the particle size of Microvore?
The particles are extremely small, allowing efficient uptake by small-polyp corals and filter feeders.
How does Microvore support coral growth?
It supplies nutrients required for tissue development and biological processes in corals.
Does Microvore enhance coral coloration?
Yes, improved nutrition supports better pigmentation and more vibrant coloration over time.
How is Microvore used?
It is added directly to aquarium water in measured doses or used for target feeding.
Is target feeding recommended?
Yes, target feeding helps deliver food directly to corals and minimizes waste.
Can Microvore be broadcast fed?
Yes, it can be added to a high-flow area to distribute nutrients throughout the aquarium.
Should pumps be turned off during feeding?
Yes, temporarily turning off pumps can improve feeding efficiency and uptake.
Can Microvore be used with other coral foods?
Yes, it can be combined with other feeding products to provide a varied nutritional profile.
How often should Microvore be used?
Feeding frequency depends on coral demand and overall nutrient levels in the system.
Can Microvore be overdosed?
Yes, excessive dosing can negatively impact water quality, so it should be used carefully.
Does Microvore require refrigeration?
No, it is shelf-stable and should be stored in a cool location.
Should the product be shaken before use?
Yes, shaking ensures even distribution of suspended particles.
What factors influence feeding effectiveness?
Water flow, coral species, feeding method, and system stability all affect results.
Is Microvore safe for aquarium inhabitants?
Yes, when used as directed it is safe for fish, corals, and other reef organisms.
What results can I expect from using Microvore?
Improved feeding response, enhanced coral growth, better coloration, and healthier filter-feeding organisms.
