Description
Like fish, corals and other filter feeders also need nutrients for their growth and well-being. Natural zooplankton is an important source of energy and nutrients for stony corals and other plankton filter feeders. In the sea zooplankton move mainly at night from deeper water levels into the habitat of reef corals. In the reef aquarium it is important to provide this natural abundance of plankton to the corals as closely as possible to the way it occurs in Nature.
Tropic Marin® Zooton is a balanced plankton replacement for stony corals, particularly small polyp stony corals and other plankton filter feeders in the sea water aquarium. It consists in the main of selected animal and vegetable marine ingredients rich in trace elements and minerals. Spirulina, one of the ingredients, supplies large amounts of carotinoids amongst other things and, in combination with brewer’s yeast, covers the requirement for natural B group vitamins, particularly vitamin B12.
