What’s Included
Benefits
- Grow your pods — seed and sustain a thriving copepod/amphipod population
- Natural food — live microfauna support fish & coral nutrition
- Reduce nitrates — macroalgae uptake helps with nutrient control
How to Use
- Acclimate contents to tank temperature (float sealed bags for 15–20 minutes).
- Rinse macroalgae in clean saltwater; place in refugium with moderate flow and light.
- Add pods after lights out to rock/sump areas; reduce mechanical filtration for 12–24 hrs.
- Seat mangrove propagule with the tip above water; provide strong light and stable salinity.
Care Notes
- Lighting: macroalgae prefer a reverse photoperiod (when display is off).
- Harvest: trim Caulerpa regularly to export nutrients and prevent die-off.
- Refugium flow: gentle to moderate; provide hiding structure for pods (chaeto/rock).
Note: Exact macroalgae color/shape can vary. Inspect and rinse before placement. Quarantine is recommended for sensitive systems.
