Zoo.Blast is a nutritious complex of several
naturally occurring zooplankton in a wide range of sizes from 200 to 2,000 uM.
Zoo.Blast is not made from ground up shrimp or fish like several other products
are, but is made with actual plankton! Zoo.Blast provides for growth and
increased coloration, by providing proteins, naturally occurring lipids,
including important omega fatty acids EPA and DHA, and a wide range of
vitamins. It also contains carotenoids, for coloration. Zoo.Blast does not
require refrigeration, but refrigeration will prolong shelf life.
Use in aquarium keeping.
Zoo.Blast is useful for feeding hard and soft corals, sponges, filter
feeding worms, tunicates and clams of all types. It is particularly suited for
those that feed on mesoplankton. Many species of marine fishes will also feed
on Zoo.Blast. It is recommended that you turn off your protein skimmer and
other filtration for 15 to 30 minutes prior to adding the Zoo.Blast to the
aquarium. Be careful when feeding liquid foods, not to overload the system. It
is recommended that you not add more than the recommended dosage of any food
per day. Continuum recommends that the hobbyist vary the types and sizes of
foods delivered into the reef aquarium. Other Continuum foods that make good
choices for this food rotation include Coral Exponential, Ocean Snow,
Micro.Blast and Phyto.Blast. Also, occasionally blending the foods and using
them as soaks for other foods will give your invertebrates a variety simulating
nature. Vary the time of day for feeding, as well, being sure to feed at night
for those organisms that primarily feed nocturnally. Many corals feed primarily
at night, extending their tentacles and mesenterial filaments, using their
nematocysts to capture prey, and entrapping prey on their sticky tentacles with
mucus and drawing it into their mouths.
Directions:
Shake well prior to use. Add 1 capful (5 ml) per 50 US-gallons (200 L)
of marine aquarium water 2 to 3 times per week, in a area of high flow.
Expert use:
Target feeding is the best method of addition. Use a turkey baster,
pipette, or similar tool to release upstream of animals to be fed. Do not touch
corals with tool. Do not insert tool into this bottle, particularly do not
allow aquarium water to enter the bottle, to do so will introduce bacteria into
the product and accelerate its decomposition. Instead, pour appropriate amount
of Zoo.Blast into a cup and use the tool in the cup. Feed all that you pour and
do not return any product to the container (again to prevent contamination).
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption. If
ingested drink water. If in eyes flush with water.
