New Life Spectrum Algaemax Wafers 2.2kg

Description

New Life Spectrum Algaemax Wafers 2.2kg — Bulk 12 mm sinking algae wafers for pleco rooms and large grazer systems

Where dozens of plecos and catfish are fed every night, wafers are bought by the kilogram and the cost per feed matters as much as the recipe. New Life Spectrum Algaemax Wafers 2.2kg (SKU: 102327) is the 2.2 kg bulk pack of New Life Spectrum’s AlgaeMAX wafer, a 12 to 12.5 mm sinking wafer for freshwater and marine herbivores and bottom feeders, made in the USA by New Life International. According to the maker, the recipe draws on nine kinds of aquatic vegetation and whole Antarctic krill, contains no soybean, and uses a newer pellet-forming process that allows more algae and seaweed in each wafer. New Life Spectrum calls it a complete veggie diet.

The wafer sinks to the substrate and breaks down slowly, which suits fish that graze over an hour or more and nocturnal species that feed after dark. The guaranteed analysis is crude protein 34% minimum, crude fat 8% minimum, crude fibre 8% maximum, ash 10% maximum and moisture 12% maximum. The maker’s direction is to feed twice daily, in an amount eaten within a minute or less. A 2.2 kg pack is a large quantity of a moisture-sensitive food, so it suits systems where many tanks are fed from it within a few months; keep it sealed in a cool, dry place and decant a working supply. Smaller jars of the same wafer are available in 150 g, 300 g and 600 g, along with a Mini Wafer for small fish.
