the effect of Naturose

[Kathy55g]

Before:

After 1 week feeding same food with Naturose topdressing:

Which fish would you rather look at?

 

[saltwater4life1]

wow there color is so much nicer after only a week...
i still wanna see pictures of your set up...

 

[Kathy55g]

It's not much to see. My tanks are on a homemade table over the sump. They drain to 100 micron filter and bioballs, PURA filter before the pump, then the UV, then back to the tanks via a manifold and cheap ball valves. Recently I put glass lids on the tank to control evaporation. You can see the edges of some glass lids in the picture above.

Wow, THat's a big Differance Kathy, how old is that batch? Carl

 

[Kathy55g]

That one's about a month old.

 

[Kmiec123]

One month with third strips in/coming in...you are the best!!!!

 

[Kathy55g]

Is that unusual? These are Ocellaris, not Perculas.

I am certainly not the best. My broodstock is very nice, though.
But thanks for the kind thoughts!

Ok I'll ask a dumb question or two.

How do you use this stuff? I have some and try and add it to mysis shrimp for my seahorses. When would I put it on the shrimp after it is defrosted and rinsed?

Can you use too much?

I read the web link above but no where does it tell you how to feed it to fish.

Thanks
BruceW

 

[Kathy55g]

I mix 1g of it with 100g dry food, add 2g fish oil (2 capsules, in the vitamin section of the grocery store) and mix very well. Thank Luis for the recipe.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

can you give link to purchase it. thanks.

 

[Kathy55g]

Sorry I didn't see the second question. Strangely, if you feed more than 1%, it doesn't help, and a study showed that the color was less good than 1%.

Brine Shrimp Direct has it, as well as Aquatic Eco Systems. and probably some others.

 

[EMBRYOGUY]

sorry for wasting your time kathy, i found it at the same places also.

thank you for sharing the photos.

Here is what I don't get, doesn't the mix with oil make for a very heavy, sinking, sloppy mess??? Kathy, you say you use auto feeders, does the oil saturated Otto work in them??? I know you don't run skimmers but mine would go nuts with that oil in the water. I guess I just don't quite understand how this works I use frozen CE, get the same color and no mess. I know that Joe prefers NR but he has it directly encapsulated into a custom food formula, NO oil. I suppose I could be converted if I just understood how you use it without polluting the snot out of the water. Fish oil???? Not in MY systems :lol: I'm imagining 50% water changes daily

 

[David M]

BTW this is the color you get with CE:

Also notice no missbars in the CE raised fish, I see quite a few in the NR group.

 

[MimicTang]

Whats a CE raised fish?
