Brightwell Aquatics: Macrovore

Overview

• Suspension of North American marine crustacean roe with a size range of
  ~0.7 - 1.2 mm.
• Fortified with free-form essential amino acids, vitamins important to immune system
  function, carotenoid-rich oils of marine origin (also rich in omega-3 HUFA), and natural feeding attractants to improve feeding responsiveness in fishes.
• Rich in natural pigments that have been found to intensify overall coloration.
• Appropriate for feeding anemones, LPS corals, gorgonians, and solitary and colonial polyps, particularly at night when tentacles are extended to maximize chances of prey-capture.
• Readily consumed by planktivorous fishes.
• Suitable for improving coloration of all freshwater species of fish, including Discus.

Instructions and Guidelines

Shake container well prior to use. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding Macrōvore, and allow 10 - 15 minutes before resuming operation of filtration.

Target Feeding (anemones and corals): First, dilute product with 50% aquarium water in a separate vessel.  Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; suck a portion of Macrōvore into the feeding device, then slowly discharge the contents of the device 2 - 4" upstream of the target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Do not place items that have been exposed to aquarium water inside the original container; failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose.

Broadcast Dispersal (primarily for feeding fishes): Feed as desired/required to meet the nutritional needs of fishes and motile invertebrates housed in the system. A sensible starting point is with up to 2.5 ml per 50 US-gallons of water in the entire aquarium system every other day for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be gradually increased if desired. Notes: Macrōvore should be considered a type of food; overfeeding may lead to detrioration of water quality through a build-up of nutrients. Beginning with a low dosage and gradually increasing it with time will allow the biological filtration in the aquarium to gradually adjust and helps avoid the afore-mentioned issue.
