New Life Spectrum Algaemax Medium 2.2kg

Description

New Life Spectrum Algaemax Medium 2.2kg — Bulk 2 to 2.5 mm algae pellet for large cichlid and pleco collections

Fish rooms and big cichlid displays feed vegetable pellet daily, and a kilogram-scale pack is the only practical way to keep up. New Life Spectrum Algaemax Medium 2.2kg (SKU: 102323) is the 2.2 kg bulk pack of New Life Spectrum’s AlgaeMax herbivore formula in the Medium 2 to 2.5 mm sinking pellet, made in the USA by New Life International. According to the maker the recipe combines the Spectrum Nutrition Formula with nine aquatic vegetables for a rounded herbivore diet that also covers omnivores, and its krill, squid and fish content is there to reflect the invertebrates wild herbivores take with their algae.

The published analysis is crude protein 34% minimum, crude fat 8% minimum, crude fibre 8% maximum and moisture 10% maximum, with vitamin C guaranteed at 600 IU/kg minimum alongside vitamins A, D and E. Ingredients start with six seaweeds, kelp and spirulina and finish with bentonite clay, sea salt and a vitamin and mineral premix. The maker’s general feeding direction is twice daily, in an amount eaten within about a minute. A 2.2 kg pack is about seven and a half times a 300 g jar, so decanting a week’s supply into a small sealed container keeps the main pack fresher. Medium suits fish roughly in the adult bristlenose to mbuna range; juvenile and small fish are better served by the Regular pellet, and large plecos by the Large or Jumbo sizes.

Usage & Application

When to Use
