Vitalis Universal Grazing Station

The Vitalis Universal Grazing Station holds a grazing pellet against the glass so the fish come to the food instead of the food blowing into the overflow. Mount it where you can see it, drop in a Marine Grazing Pellet or a Tropical Grazing Pellet, and tangs, rabbitfish, plecos and shrimp pick at it for as long as it lasts. It works in saltwater and freshwater and gives shy grazers a fixed feeding spot they learn to visit. See all feeding tools.

Features

• Holds Vitalis grazing pellets and other large pellets or algae wafers in a fixed spot
• Mounts to the glass, so grazers feed where you can watch them
• Stops pellets being swept into the overflow or under the rock
• Works in saltwater and freshwater
• Rinse under the tap between feeds

Who uses it

Tangs, rabbitfish and angels in a reef tank; plecos, otocinclus, hillstream loaches, snails and shrimp in a freshwater tank.

Feeding Guide

Load one or two grazing pellets, mount the station at mid height on a side pane away from the strongest flow, and leave it for a few hours. Move it lower for bottom grazers such as plecos and otos. Remove what is left before lights out in a reef tank to keep nutrients down.

FAQ

Does it work with algae wafers? Yes, most standard wafers and large pellets fit.

Will the fish find it? Give them a day or two. Once one tang or pleco learns the spot the rest follow.

Is it reef safe? Yes. It is inert plastic and nothing leaches from it.
