What is Zooplanktos S?
Zooplanktos S is a concentrated liquid suspension of zooplankton and unhatched eggs designed to feed corals, fish, and filter-feeding marine organisms.
What does Zooplanktos S do?
It provides a dense source of planktonic nutrition that supports feeding response, growth, and overall reef health.
What organisms benefit from Zooplanktos S?
It is ideal for stony corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, larval crustaceans, juvenile fish, and planktivorous fishes.
What is Zooplanktos S made from?
It contains zooplankton such as rotifers and their eggs, providing a highly digestible natural food source.
What nutrients does Zooplanktos S provide?
It is rich in amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals, and carotenoid pigments.
What is the particle size of Zooplanktos S?
It provides particles ranging from 50 to 300 microns, ideal for small-polyp corals and fine filter feeders.
Why is particle size important?
Smaller particle sizes improve capture efficiency and nutrient absorption by corals and suspension feeders.
How concentrated is Zooplanktos S?
It is formulated to provide over four thousand prey items per milliliter, delivering dense nutrition.
How does Zooplanktos S enhance coloration?
It is supplemented with a proprietary amino acid that helps improve coloration in corals and fish.
How is Zooplanktos S 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 S require refrigeration?
No, it does not require refrigeration and remains stable when stored properly.
Can Zooplanktos S be overdosed?
Yes, excessive feeding can increase nutrient levels and negatively impact water quality.
Can Zooplanktos S be used with other foods?
Yes, it can be combined with phytoplankton and other planktonic foods for a broader nutritional profile.
What results can I expect from using Zooplanktos S?
Improved feeding response, enhanced coloration, increased growth, and healthier reef organisms.
