Live marine copepods are small, naturally occurring aquatic crustaceans that serve as a highly nutritious, live food source for various marine fish, including difficult-to-feed species like mandarin fish and seahorses, as well as fish larvae. They are rich in essential nutrients, high-quality fats, and proteins, which support growth, enhance pigmentation, and improve disease resistance in fish. In addition to being a primary food source, copepods also contribute to a healthy aquarium by helping to cycle nutrients and consume algae and detritus, functioning as a natural clean-up crew.
Benefits of Feeding Live Copepods to Marine Fish
Superior Nutrition:Copepods provide essential proteins, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and other vital nutrients that promote the health and development of marine fish, especially young fish and fry.
Natural Feeding Behavior:Their natural movement triggers a feeding response in fish, mimicking natural foraging behaviors and making them an ideal food for picky or challenging species like mandarins.
Enhanced Fish Health:The high nutrient content and live nature of copepods can improve a fish's immune system, increase resistance to disease, and reduce stress.
Improved Pigmentation and Growth:Feeding copepods can lead to better coloration in fish and improve their overall growth rates and survival rates.
Aquarium Benefits:Beyond being food, copepods are an active part of the marine ecosystem. They graze on algae and consume detritus, helping to keep the aquarium clean and cycle nutrients.
Suitable SpeciesLive marine copepods are particularly beneficial for:
Difficult-to-Feed Species:Mandarin fish, pipefish, and seahorses.
Fish Larvae and Fry:Their small size and high nutrition make them perfect for young fish and newly hatched larvae.
Corals and Filter Feeders:Copepods and their eggs are also consumed by corals and other filter-feeding organisms.
How to Use and Introduce Copepods
Add to the Aquarium:Introduce bags of live copepods into your aquarium to allow them to reproduce and establish a population.
Utilize Refugiums:Adding copepods to a refugium can create a self-sustaining food source and benefit the larger display tank.
Regular Introduction:Consistently adding copepods helps ensure a continuous supply of live food for your fish and other tank inhabitants.
Aqua PHOS - Phosphatabsorber for salt and fresh water removes up to:
Phosphat: ca.40.000mg/kg
Silikat: ca.10.000mg/kg

Used granulat is also fertilizer for plants.
AquaAllEX demineraliser takes the full size RO to a higher level of filtration. It is an excellent resin, especially for those who live in areas with exceptionally high levels of TOTAL DISSOLVED SOLIDS (TDS) in their tap water. The post deionizer takes the small percentage of contaminants that the membrane could not remove and filters this to greater than 99.99% pure. It will give you 0 ppm TDS, Conductivity attainable less than 0.1uS/cm or resistivity of close to 18 meg.ohm
Advantages:
elimination of all ions (positiv and negativ)
specially helpfull against silicates
regeneration only with large quantities possible (1000 Liters and more)
