Reef Pulse, a high quality coral food powder, is an innovative blend of selected zooplankton and phytoplankton catering to the unique nutritional needs of many SPS and LPS coral species, tube worms and other omnivorous filter feeders. The wide particle size range from 5 to 400 micron makes it an ideal diet for a large variety of coral species (like Euphyllia, Acropora, Montipora, Clavularia, Goniopora, Zoanthids, Scolymia, Dendronephthya, Stylophora, Pocillopora, Seriatopora, Xenia, Anthelia, Echinopora, Alveopora, Leptastrea, Chalice,…). They will show faster growth and more intense coloration, when fed regularly with Reef Pulse. Reef Pulse can be used with 2 different feeding methods: target feeding or tank feeding, according to the following feeding instructions. Target feeding = Fill a recipient with 100ml of tank water and add, depending on coral density, ¼ to 1 teaspoon of Reef Pulse. Do not feed more than 1 teaspoon per 400 liter per day / Blend & stir well / Switch off filtration, skimmer and circulation during target feeding (to avoid immediate removal) / Disperse a cloud of concentrated food solution over the targeted corals (e.g. by using a pipet or syringe) / When the food is consumed, restart filtration, skimmer and circulation Tank feeding = Fill a recipient with 500ml of tank water and add, depending on coral density, ¼ to 1 teaspoon of Reef Pulse per 400 liter of tank water. Do not feed more than 1 teaspoon per 400 liter per day. / Blend & stir well / Switch off filtration and skimmer (to avoid immediate removal) / Add the food solution to the aquarium, circulation pumps will disperse the food / Restart filtration and skimmer +/- 10 to 15 minutes later (depending on how fast the food is consumed) The power food for SPS/LPS corals and a nutritional boost for your reef tank. Palatable micro particles providing all essential nutrients. Includes protein stimulants to trigger the feeding behaviour in SPS and LPS corals.

This off-the-shelf coral food makes feeding your corals so much easier and efficient. Their soft semi-moist pellet structure ensures an optimal acceptance and digestion. Besides that the pellets are packed with selected molecules to trigger feeding response. Comes in two pellet sizes. The small pellets (+- 2.5mm) are developed for Ricordea and smaller LPS corals (such as Acanthastrea, Blastomussa, Lobophyllia,…). They consist of small fresh planktonic prey items like copepods. For larger LPS corals we formulated a diet with larger planktonic prey items like krill. These pellets are around 6mm, perfect for corals like Scolymia, Lobophyllia, Trachyphyllia, Duncanopsammia and Catalaphyllia. Feed your corals every other day. To avoid overfeeding, feed maximum 30% of the polyps in a coral colony. Store at room temperature. After opening, it is advised to store in the fridge (4 - 6°C) for prolonged preservation. Please avoid to leak moisture into the package during use. Developed to fulfil the micro-planktivorous nutritional needs of Ricordea and smaller LPS corals and the macro-planktivorous nutritional needs of larger LPS corals Soft semi-moist structure for optimal acceptance and digestion Packed with selected molecules to trigger feeding response Nitrogen flushed inner foil pouch keeps the oxygen out for maximum freshness Ingredients Marine copepods, fish fillets, krill, wheat flour, wheat gluten, squid, adult brine shrimp, mineral salts, marine fish eggs, yeast, mussels, vitamins (retinyl acetate (vitamin A), cholecalciferol (vitamin D3), L-ascorbic acid phosphate (vitamin C), tocopherol acetate (vitamin E), menadione (vitamin K3), thiamine mononitrate (vitamin B1), riboflavin (vitamin B2), pyridoxine (vitamin B6), cyanocobalamin (vitamin B12), biotin (vitamin H), panthotenic acid (vitamin B5), folic acid (vitamin B9), niacin (vitamin B3)), antioxidants.

Cyclops When feeding the smallest inhabitants of your aquarium, size and nutrition matter. Ruto Frozen Cyclops offers a highly nutritious, micro-sized food source that perfectly caters to the needs of baby fish (fry), nano fish species, and delicate filter-feeding marine corals. Cyclops are tiny freshwater copepods naturally rich in protein and color-enhancing carotenoids. Because of their incredibly small size, they stay suspended in the water column longer, giving slow feeders, tiny mouths, and corals ample time to capture their meal. Flash-frozen to preserve peak freshness, this is an indispensable food for breeders and reef enthusiasts alike. Key Benefits Micro-Sized Nutrition: The perfect bite-sized meal for fry, micro-rasboras, small tetras, and marine invertebrates. Excellent Coral Food: Ideal for target-feeding LPS corals, SPS corals, and filter-feeding invertebrates in reef setups. Color Enhancing: Naturally high in carotenoids to promote vibrant, glowing colors in your fish. Encourages Growth: Packed with the essential proteins and fats baby fish need for rapid, healthy development. Suspends in Water: Stays in the water column longer, mimicking natural plankton and triggering natural hunting behaviors. Feeding Instructions Pop out a portion from the blister pack and thaw it in a small cup of aquarium water. For fish, pour the thawed mixture slowly into the tank. For corals, use a pipette or turkey baster to gently target-feed the polyps. Feed 1 to 2 times daily, providing only what can be consumed within 3 to 5 minutes. Specifications Brand: Ruto Type: Frozen Fish Food (Cyclops / Copepods) Size: 100g Blister Pack Suitable For: Fry (Baby Fish), Nano Freshwater Fish, Small Marine Fish, and Corals

Coralific Delite™ is a revolutionary diet, specifically developed for corals and their unique nutritional needs while offering two modes of feeding: "Targeted Gel Feeding" directly on the mouth of a specific coral or "Squirt & Go™ Feeding" which allows the coral polyps to capture the food in the water column like they would zooplankton. Dual Use – Offers Maximum Feeding Flexibility Can be used with a syringe in its gel form as a target food Can be used after a short hydration period as a broadcast feed for larger coral populations Excellent zooplankton replacement Offers immediate feeding response Give Your Corals The Boost They Crave Accelerates coral growth Visible color improvement Contains necessary nutrients inverts require, specifically: trace elements, proteins, vitamins and astaxanthin. 1. Targeted Gel FeedingMix two parts tank water to one part Coralific Delite™ to form a gel. Let soak 3 minutes to set, then use a syringe or dropper to squirt food in a slow back and forth motion and place the mixture on the mouth of the coral to be fed.Ideal for many LPS (large polyp stony corals) and sea anemone which have larger mouths.2. Squirt & Go™ FeedingMix four parts tank water to one part Coralific Delite™ to form a low viscosity liquid with a creamy texture. Use a dropper to squirt food with a slow motion in the vicinity of the corals to be fed. The viscosity can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the amount of tank water used.Ideal for soft corals like horny coral and feather dusters which have a smaller mouth.Care should be taken to avoid using too much Coralific Delite™ at one time. The food is highly concentrated and a very small size. Most consumers have a tendency to use too much which cause water quality issues. Smaller amounts more than once a day is a better option than too much at one time. Especially when using as a direct feed. Allowing excessive food to site on the coral for an extended period of time is not desirable.Note: Hikari® Coralific Delite™ contains higher levels of natural ingredients which may cause a slight change in color from one production lot to another.
