NYOS LYQ-RED Coral Food

NYOS LYQ-RED is a concentrated liquid food for all corals and anemones, with particles from 5 µm to 2 mm so both small-polyp and large-polyp corals can feed. It combines marine microparticles, the microalgae Schizochytrium and Haematococcus, mussel powder and Arctic Calanus copepods, and is rich in amino acids, omega-3/6/9 fatty acids and astaxanthin.

What's in it (per NYOS)

• Natural marine microparticles, 5 to 50 µm
• Microalgae (150 to 200 µm): EPA-rich Schizochytrium and astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus
• Natural mussel powder, 200 µm to 1 mm
• Protein-rich Arctic zooplankton (Calanus finmarchicus) up to 2 mm
• High-quality marine oils, such as microencapsulated fish oil

Benefits (per NYOS)

• One food for all corals (SPS, LPS, soft and non-photosynthetic) and anemones
• Corals learn to feed as in nature, for visibly better growth, vitality and polyp expansion
• Dosing-pump friendly; no refrigeration needed
• No skimmer overflow, algae or cyano growth
• Supplies phosphorus even when phosphate is low

Dosing

• 10 mL per 1,000 L (264 gal) daily
• Adjust to your coral load
• Pairs with NYOS AMYNO, which improves polyp expansion so corals take in more food
