New Life Spectrum Algaemax Large 300g

Description

New Life Spectrum Algaemax Large 300g — 3 to 3.5 mm sinking algae pellet for adult plecos and larger herbivores

An adult pleco or a full-grown tang takes a small pellet in a single gulp and then goes looking for more, so larger herbivores do better on a pellet they have to work at. New Life Spectrum Algaemax Large 300g (SKU: 102360) is the 300 g jar of New Life Spectrum’s AlgaeMax herbivore formula in the Large 3 to 3.5 mm sinking pellet, made in the USA by New Life International. The maker builds the recipe on its Spectrum Nutrition Formula with a basket of nine aquatic vegetables, states that it is tuned for herbivores while meeting the needs of omnivores, and includes marine proteins to mimic the zooplankton and invertebrates wild herbivores eat.

The ingredient list is led by six seaweeds, kelp and spirulina, with krill, squid and fish, whole wheat flour, garlic, ginger, astaxanthin and marigold behind them. Guaranteed minimums are 34% crude protein and 8% crude fat, with 8% maximum fibre and 10% maximum moisture, plus 10,000 IU/kg vitamin A, 3,500 IU/kg vitamin D and 400 IU/kg vitamin E. New Life Spectrum’s standard direction is two feeds daily, with only as much given as is eaten in about a minute. At 3 to 3.5 mm the pellet is about three times the diameter of the Regular size, so it suits adult plecos, large silver dollars, bigger goldfish, parrotfish-type herbivores and medium to large tangs. The 300 g jar is the size for one or two large-fish tanks; heavier users can move to the 2.2 kg bulk pack.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Adult plecos: Common, sailfin and similar large plecos that need a hefty pellet.
• Large herbivorous cichlids: Bigger grazers that ignore small pellets.
• Medium to large tangs: A sinking pellet to add to nori and other greens.
• Stepping up from Medium: Fish that have outgrown 2 to 2.5 mm.

Feeding Guide

• Twice daily: Each feed finished in about a minute.
• Feed at the grazing spot: Drop pellets near the cave or rockwork where the fish rest.
• Let fish handle them: Large pellets can take a moment to soften; allow time before removing leftovers.
• Keep the jar sealed: Close it after use and store dry.
