Brightwell Aquatics Zooplanktos-S is a concentrated suspension of
phytoplankton-enriched, adult Brachionus sp. (rotifers), their
eggs, and the eggs of another group of crustaceans; the result is
a food source rich in amino s, ty s including omega-3
HUFAs, s, minerals, and carotenoid pigments giving them a
natural, bright yellow appearance. These prey items fall within
the microplankton (20.0 - 200.0µm) and mesoplankton (200.0 -
2,000.0µm) classes of plankton. They are the proper size for
feeding many species of stony corals (particularly those with
short tentacles), as well as clams and other bivalves, sponges,
tunicates (sea squirts), plumed worms (Christmas tree worms,
feather dusters, etc.), larval crustaceans and bivalves, juvenile
fishes, and the adults of planktivorous fishes (such as anthias,
basslets, psuedochromids, dartfishes, chromis, etc.) and
microinvertebrate-predators (such as mandarinfishes, some gobies,
dwarf wrasses, etc.). Though Zooplanktos-S provides a number of
amino s, one that is not naturally present has been added;
this proprietary amino has been shown in studies to increase
coloration of corals and other marine invertebrates.
Additionally, a small percentage of -C is present to
increase the benefits of Zooplanktos-S, particularly to corals
and their allies that have recently undergone fragmenting or
propagation. Zooplanktos-S may be used in conjunction with other
planktonic suspensions to provide a complete range of sizes to
filter-feeding and planktivorous organisms. Zooplanktos-S does
not require refrigeration, however storage in a cool, shaded area
will prolong the activity of the s. Refrigeration will
maximize the shelf-life of the product. Provides zooplankton and
fully-digestible, unhatched eggs ranging in size from 50 - 300µm.
Ideally-sized for many stony corals, clams, sponges, tunicates,
tube worms, larval crustaceans, juvenile fishes, and adult
planktivorous and microinvertebrate-predatory fishes. Formulated
to provide over four-thousand prey per ml. Does not require
refrigeration. Supplemented with a proprietary amino to aid
incoloration of invertebrates and fishes. Formulated by a marine
scientist.

Guaranteed Analysis: Moisture (max) 99.30%, crude protein (min) 0.34%, crude (min) 0.35%, crude fiber (min) 0.12%. Ingredients: Purified water, Brachionus sp. (zooplankton), unhatched Brachionus sp. and crustacean eggs, proprietary amino s, Ascorbic , Citric . Instructions and Guidelines Shake product well before using. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding food suspensions to aquaria, and allow 10 - 15 minutes after feeding before resuming operation of filtration. Target Feeding (recommended): Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; pour 5 ml (1 capful) into a small container and suck a portion of this 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. Rinse the portion (inside and outside) of the feeder that was placed into aquarium water before placing it into this bottle (if feeding directly from the bottle rather than from a separate container); failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose. Broadcast Feeding: Add up to 5 ml per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system in an area of rapid water movement daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be increased as desired. Notes: Add no more than 5 ml total of liquid food suspensions per 50 gallons of water in the entire aquarium system daily for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be gradually increased as desired.
