jervismun Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Hi guys... it's me again... introducing another product out there in the market... Basically they are just another fish/corals food range in this already very saturated market... there are 1001 brands out there and the reason why I am trying it is because "I ran out of DT's Phytoplankton " For those of you interested in this product, can PM me... but I shall not reveal the price as you can always check it out at the LFS (I hope you know where to find... look under SRC Sponsor... tips: Name starts with an A ends with an E) As usual... I will maintain this thread for a couple of weeks to monitor closely the pros and cons that these 2 products bring... coz I always believe in the longer effect of things... can't really tell in a day or two. For those bros and sis already using these products... feel free to join in All are welcome...

jervismun Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 bro, thanks for another product review... No problem... since I have so much time... I guess I'll do the industry better than to keep posting photographs of my tiny little tank on my 10000 pages thread Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 Formality sake... let me start with some text extracted from their website www.reed-mariculture.com Arcti-Pods™ Marine Copepods Concentrate Marine Copepods from the Arctic Ocean 3,000 - 6,000 microns in size (roughly 6X Cyclopeeze) Incredible Omega 3 / Omega 6 nutritional profile! Fish go CRAZY for them! Can be fed to almost any reef organism that eats frozen mysids 80% feeding success rate with mandarin gobies Arcti-Pods™ are super-concentrated marine copepods from ARCTIC OCEAN (Calanus finmarchicus, 3000-6000 microns). Arcti-Pods™ are extremely rich in carotenoids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids and protein. In the wild they provide the base of much of the marine food chain. Excellent feed for fish, LPS corals and more... Pix: Must be stored in a refrigerator, normally can last around 3 months upon date of purchase (date of expiry clearly printed on the bottle)... also totally sealed Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jervismun Posted June 20, 2006 Author Share Posted June 20, 2006 They claim that the FISHES WILL GO CRAZY But unfortunately all my fishes still very sane lor... just excited only lar... I think CRAZY is too much of an overstatement lor I tried it using my 10 Dispar Anthias... coz they are the most picky eaters in my entire tank... what I successfully achieved was all 10 Anthias together with other fishes follow my syringe tube around... round and round... and every time I release a bit or Arcti-Pods™... they get all excited... so today is just like an introduction... can't really feed fully coz I just fed them with Live Brine Shrimp I bought from AM I'm sure a lot of you guys will compare this with Cyclopeeze... well it's actually quite a different thing lor... they are 6 times larger than Cyclopeeze and as far as I can see... my Dispar prefers Arcti-Pods™ coz they are more bit size... it's good to see my Dispar eating so greedily coz they are still way too underweight Note: I don't usually feed my fishes using a plastic rod... so the result is definitely not based on habit Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jervismun Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 I'm back... and tonight I tried feeding the Arcti-Pods™ direct from the bottle... the fishes get excited again but a lot of the marine pods actually float on the water surface... so some picky eaters got a bit lazy to try to reach for the pods... so it's better to premix the pods in a small container before pouring it into a high flow area... that way sand dwellers can also get a fair share of the yummy pods Hehe... just experimenting Quote Tank 60x40x40 Optiwhite Glass Tank Sump Elos 500 w/ Tunze Overflow Protein Skimmer Skimz Kone SK1 Return Pump Hydor Seltz L30 Wavemaker Hydor K1 Illumination 150W + 2 T5 Chiller Arctica 1/5hp w/ Aquabee 1000 Water Top-up Tunze Osmolator Dosing Pumps Grotech 3-Channels Calcium Reactor Deltec PF 501 Computer Aquatronica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jervismun Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 Time to feed Roti-Feast™ tonight... my usual plastic container (courtesy of bro Maxstar btw)... the colour and smell is not as "yummy" as Arcti-Pods™ but marine rotifer planktons are really really tiny...

jervismun Posted June 21, 2006 Author Share Posted June 21, 2006 My Suns enjoying the marine pods... actually it is so hard to find Suns food that is as convenient as this...
