New Life Spectrum Marine Fish Sinking 300g

Description

New Life Spectrum Marine Fish Sinking 300g — 1 to 1.5 mm sinking pellets tuned for saltwater omnivores, herbivores and carnivores

A reef tank holds a tang that wants algae, a wrasse that wants crustaceans and a clownfish that wants everything. New Life Spectrum Marine Fish Sinking 300g (SKU: 102282) is the 300 g jar of New Life Spectrum’s Marine Fish Formula in the regular 1 to 1.5 mm sinking pellet, made in the USA by New Life International. It is one of the maker’s specialty diets built on the Spectrum Nutrition Formula, tuned to the needs of saltwater aquarium fish, omnivores, herbivores and carnivores alike, with marine-sourced protein and aquatic vegetables in the one pellet. The ingredient list runs krill, squid, whole wheat flour, fish, chlorella, kelp, a blend of seaweeds, garlic, ginger, astaxanthin, spirulina, fish oil and marigold, with tocopherols as a natural preservative.

New Life Spectrum states that the formula uses a natural antioxidant in place of ethoxyquin and natural fruit and vegetable extracts for colour, with no artificial preservatives, colours, flavours or starch binders and no hormone-based colour enhancers. Garlic is included for palatability and what the maker describes as natural anti-parasitic properties, and ginger for immune support. The pellet sinks through the water column, so clownfish, chromis, anthias and wrasses take it on the way down and gobies and blennies pick it up from the bottom; it suits fish from nano size up to medium tangs. The maker’s directions are two feeds a day, each an amount consumed within about a minute, and it recommends feeding the formula exclusively. The 300 g jar is the middle size in the range.

Usage & Application

When to Use

• Mixed reef communities: Clownfish, chromis, anthias, gobies and small wrasses on one pellet.
• Marine herbivores: Tangs and rabbitfish getting seaweed and spirulina in a pellet alongside nori.
• Fish-only and quarantine tanks: A garlic-containing staple for fish in holding or recovery.
• New arrivals: Krill-led scent and taste to tempt fish that are slow to feed.

Feeding Guide

• Twice daily: Only what is eaten within about a minute, per the maker’s direction.
• Target the current: Feed upstream of the return so pellets drift to mid-water feeders.
• Pause the pumps: A few minutes off at feeding keeps pellets out of the overflow.
• Keep the jar sealed: Humid fish-room air softens pellets; close the lid and store dry.
