New Life Spectrum Gelmix Algaemax Powder 1.6kg

Description

New Life Spectrum Gelmix Algaemax Powder 1.6kg — Bulk algae-rich powder for herbivore gel food in fish rooms and large systems

Herbivores graze all day, and a gel food stuck to the glass or set on a rock gives them something to rasp at that a pellet cannot. New Life Spectrum Gelmix Algaemax Powder 1.6kg (SKU: 102849) is the bulk pack of New Life Spectrum’s herbivore version of GelMix, a powder that is mixed into a gel food at home. A retailer describes it as a herbivore diet that combines several green algae and seaweed sources so that fish get a wider range of nutrients than a single-ingredient diet provides, and notes that marine proteins and invertebrate ingredients are included to mimic natural foraging.

The named ingredients on the retailer page include chlorella, spirulina, ulva, wakame, red seaweed, kelp, Chondrus crispus, spinosum seaweed and Eucheuma cottonii, with alfalfa, whole Antarctic krill, marine proteins, vitamins and trace elements. The maker markets it for herbivorous and omnivorous fish and describes the gel as customisable in texture. As a dry powder it needs no refrigeration, which suits storage in a fish room. The 1.6 kg pack is the only AlgaeMax GelMix size listed in the catalogue, so it is aimed at keepers feeding many tanks of algae eaters or running grow-out systems. Mixing directions are printed on the pack and are not repeated here. The standard GelMix Powder, without the algae emphasis, is a separate product for general-purpose gel and dough foods, so the two can be used side by side where a room holds both herbivores and omnivores.
