Why Choose Our 48oz Mega-Dose?
-
The Ultimate Live Food: Copepods are a natural, nutrient-rich food source packed with highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs) and beneficial omega-3s. They are the preferred diet for finicky eaters like Mandarins, pipefish, seahorses, and wrasses. Their active, erratic swimming triggers a natural hunting response that even the most stubborn fish can't ignore.
-
A Micro Clean-Up Crew: These tiny crustaceans are active detrivores. They get into every nook and cranny to consume detritus, leftover food, and film algae, helping to keep your aquarium clean and reduce nutrient build-up.
-
Boost Biodiversity & Stability: Introducing live pods increases the biodiversity of your tank, creating a more balanced and resilient ecosystem. This makes it harder for nuisance organisms and pests to take hold and dominate.
-
Seed Your Refugium & Tank: Add them directly to your refugium, sump, or main display to establish a breeding population that provides a continuous, natural food source for your livestock.
-
Exceptional Value: This 48oz mega-dose is perfect for larger systems or for reefers who want to establish a robust population quickly. It provides an incredible amount of live pods to supercharge your reef.
How to Use
-
Acclimation: For best results, add the pods to your aquarium as soon as possible after receiving them. Float the sealed bottle in your tank for 10 minutes to equalize the temperature.
-
Dosing: Pour the contents directly into your display tank, sump, or refugium. For best results, dose after lights out to give the pods a chance to settle into the rockwork before fish can hunt them all down.
-
Maintenance: To maintain a thriving population, especially in tanks with heavy pod predators, consider adding a quality live phytoplankton supplement to feed your pod colony.
