Marc Weiss Aquarium Products Reef Bugs™

Feed your marine reef aquarium with live plankton. Unique invertebrate food contains twelve strains of marine microbes that hatch in your aquarium to replicate true marine snow. Dry packed in their encysted spore state, these natural, selectively bred, micron-sized bacterial and fungal organisms nourish your soft and stony corals, live rock, sponges, clams, scallops, and other invertebrates. Plus, any uneaten microbes colonize in the substrate or biofilter to help eliminate phosphorus, balance nitrogen levels, and clean your aquarium. Simply dissolve in aquarium water for thirty minutes to hatch. Convenient, 3 oz resealable bag contains over 100 billion microbes per ounce - enough to feed a 100 gallon system over 50 times.

However, the manufacturer recommends starting at one-half (1/2) teaspoon per day per 100 gallons of water. If excess is noted in skimmer, decrease the fed portion by the wasted amount. However, a powerful skimmer may remove some food before it is eaten even if the proper ration is fed. If no excess food is found in the skimmer, slowly increase the ration if desired.

To use, dissolve the quantity of dry Reef Bugs™ in a cup of aquarium water. Stir. Let solution set for approximately ten minutes. Stir again. Again let set for approximately another twenty minutes or more until the majority is dissolved. Stir again. Then add to your aquarium. Any dry material that has not dissolved at this time will soon dissolve in the aquarium.

Or, sprinkle dry material into the tank. It will take approximately 30 minutes to fully dissolve. In the meantime, fish and other non-invertebrates may eat the non-dissolved particles. Reef Bugs™ are harmless to fish. For the best feeding method for your system, try both methods.
