Instructions and Guidelines
Shake container well prior to use. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding Macrōvore, and allow 10 - 15 minutes before resuming operation of filtration.
Target Feeding (anemones and corals): First, dilute product with 50% aquarium water in a separate vessel. Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; suck a portion of Macrōvore into the feeding device, then slowly discharge the contents of the device 2 - 4" upstream of the target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Do not place items that have been exposed to aquarium water inside the original container; failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose. See 'Notes' below regarding maximum recommended feeding amount.
Anemones may be fed whenever they appear to be fully-inflated; feeding anemones small amounts on a daily, rather than weekly, basis replicates natural circumstances and promotes health. Most corals extend their tentacles at night, when the majority of coralivorous and zooplanktivorous fishes are asleep and the abundance of zooplankton in the water column passing over and through the reef is at its greatest. Therefore, the most sensible time to feed Macrōvore to corals is after the main lights in the aquarium have been off (preferably for at least one- to two-hours).CoralAminō or Restōr may be dosed 5 - 10 minutes before feeding to elicit a feeding response and improve the rate of prey capture.
Broadcast Dispersal (primarily for feeding fishes): Feed as desired/required to meet the nutritional needs of fishes and motile invertebrates housed in the system. A sensible starting point is with up to 2.5 ml per 50 US-gallons of water in the entire aquarium system every other day for the first four weeks of use; thereafter, the dosage may be gradually increased if desired. Notes: Macrōvore should be considered a type of food; overfeeding may lead to detrioration of water quality through a build-up of nutrients. Beginning with a low dosage and gradually increasing it with time will allow the biological filtration in the aquarium to gradually adjust and helps avoid the afore-mentioned issue.
Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption
