Brightwell UltraPlanktos Z CWM

Brightwell UltraPlanktos Z CWM

Overview

Nourish your cold-water reef with Brightwell Aquatics UltraPlanktos Z CWM, a fortified zooplankton suspension crafted for temperate marine systems. Designed to mimic natural plankton pulses, UltraPlanktos Z supports vibrant coloration, vigorous polyp extension, and steady growth in filter-feeding invertebrates and cold-water corals—without clouding the water or spiking nutrients when used as directed.

Key Features

• Cold-Water Optimized: Formulated for temperate marine aquariums and species that thrive below tropical reef temperatures.

• Zooplankton-Rich Nutrition: Provides fine-to-midsize particulate zooplankton appropriate for sponges, tunicates, non-photosynthetic (NPS) corals, gorgonians, anemones, feather dusters, and bivalves.

• Fortified for Results: Enriched with vitamins and essential nutrients to support tissue repair, immunity, and coloration.

• Clean & Reef-Safe: Mixes evenly and disperses efficiently; minimal residue when dosed properly.

• Flexible Feeding: Suitable for broadcast or target feeding; compatible with pipettes, feeders, and dosing pumps (pre-diluted).

Product Specifications

• Product Name: Brightwell Aquatics UltraPlanktos Z CWM

• Type: Fortified zooplankton suspension (cold-water marine)

• Use For: Filter-feeding invertebrates and cold-water corals/inverts

• System Types: Temperate marine reefs, NPS systems, public display tanks, research systems

• Storage: Keep sealed, cool, and out of light. Refrigerate after opening to maintain freshness. Shake well before use.

Directions (General Guidance)

Always observe livestock response and test nutrients; adjust to your tank’s bioload and export capacity.

1. Preparation: Shake bottle thoroughly. For target feeding, pre-dilute in clean tank water (e.g., 1:3).

2. Dosing (Starting Point):

   • Broadcast: 1–5 mL per 50 gal (190 L), 2–4× per week.

   • Target Feed: Small amounts directly over polyps/colonies using a pipette; avoid direct jetting onto tissue.

3. Skimmer/Mechanical Filtration: Consider pausing skimmer and fine filter socks 10–30 minutes to maximize uptake.

4. Nutrient Control: Increase/Decrease frequency based on NO₃/PO₄ trends and polyp extension. Avoid overfeeding.

Tip: Multiple small feedings generally outperform single large feedings for NPS and high-uptake systems.

Best Practices

• Temperature: Maintain appropriate cold-water ranges for your species; stable temps improve feeding response.

• Flow: Moderate, randomized flow helps keep particulates suspended and accessible to filter feeders.

• Compatibility: Safe with fish, inverts, and mixed temperate communities when used as directed.

• Synergy: Pair with a balanced regimen (e.g., amino acids/phyto where appropriate) and robust export (skimming, refugium).
