Aquaforest AF Phyto Mix 250mL

Aquaforest AF Phyto Mix is a rich liquid food formulated mainly for soft corals, gorgonians, and non-photosynthetic (NPS) corals. It blends phytoplankton and zooplankton in a balanced ratio so corals get the proteins, fats, and carbohydrates they need, boosted with highly absorbable protein from shellfish. Small fish, shrimp, and other filter feeders eagerly take it too.

Feed it alongside the rest of the Aquaforest reef range and our corals.

Features

• Built for soft corals and NPS. Targets soft corals, gorgonians, and non-photosynthetic corals that rely on captured food rather than light.
• Balanced phyto and zooplankton. A blend of plant and animal plankton delivers a complete mix of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.
• Highly absorbable protein. Enriched with shellfish-derived protein for efficient uptake.
• Tank-wide benefit. Also readily eaten by small fish, shrimp, and filter-feeding invertebrates.

How to Use

Shake well before each use. Target-feed corals with a pipette or turkey baster, or dose into a moderate-flow area of the tank where corals can capture it. Dim the lights and reduce flow briefly to help corals extend and feed. Start conservatively and adjust to your tank's bioload, and keep an eye on nutrients since any feeding adds to the system. Refrigerate after opening to keep it fresh.

Frequently Asked Questions

What corals is it best for?
Soft corals, gorgonians, and non-photosynthetic corals benefit most, since they depend heavily on captured food. Many LPS and filter feeders enjoy it as well.

How do I feed it?
Shake, then target-feed with a pipette or baster, or dose into the water column. Lowering flow and light briefly helps corals extend and capture the food.

Will it affect my water quality?
Any feeding adds nutrients, so start light and monitor nitrate and phosphate. Good skimming and maintenance keep things in balance.

Does it need refrigeration?
Yes, refrigerate after opening to preserve freshness.
