What is Zooplanktos L?
Zooplanktos L is a concentrated liquid suspension of zooplankton designed to feed corals, fish, and filter-feeding marine organisms.

What does Zooplanktos L do?
It provides nutrient-rich plankton that supports feeding response, growth, and overall reef health.

What organisms benefit from Zooplanktos L?
It is ideal for stony corals, clams, tube worms, larval crustaceans, juvenile fish, and planktivorous fish species.

What is Zooplanktos L made from?
It is composed of cladocerans, a type of zooplankton highly valued as a natural food source.

What nutrients does Zooplanktos L provide?
It is rich in amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and carotenoid pigments such as xanthophyll.

What is the particle size of Zooplanktos L?
It provides zooplankton ranging from 500 to 2,000 microns, suitable for larger plankton feeders.

Why is particle size important?
Proper particle size ensures efficient capture, digestion, and nutrient absorption by corals and fish.

How does Zooplanktos L enhance coloration?
It is supplemented with a proprietary amino acid shown to improve coloration in corals and fish.

Does Zooplanktos L support coral recovery?
Yes, it includes vitamin C and nutrients that help support recovery after fragging or stress.

How is Zooplanktos L used?
It can be target fed directly to organisms or added to the aquarium for broadcast feeding.

What is the recommended feeding method?
Target feeding upstream of the organism using a pipette or syringe improves feeding efficiency.

Should filtration be turned off during feeding?
Yes, protein skimmers and mechanical filtration should be turned off temporarily during feeding.

How long should filtration remain off?
Filtration can typically be resumed after about 10 to 15 minutes.

Should the product be shaken before use?
Yes, shaking ensures even suspension of particles before dosing.

Does Zooplanktos L require refrigeration?
No, it does not require refrigeration, though storing it in a cool area can extend shelf life.

Can Zooplanktos L be overdosed?
Yes, excessive feeding can increase nutrient levels and negatively impact water quality.

Can Zooplanktos L be used with other foods?
Yes, it can be combined with other planktonic suspensions to provide a broader range of particle sizes.

What results can I expect from using Zooplanktos L?
Improved feeding response, enhanced coloration, increased growth, and healthier reef organisms.
