Salifert Coral Food is designed for aquarists seeking to enhance the health and growth of their corals, sponges, tunicates, and feather duster worms. Its primary benefit is providing highly nutritional particles and dissolved nutrients that mimic natural food sources without polluting aquarium water. A key consideration is adhering to the recommended dosage to maintain water quality. This supplement features particles ranging from 5 to 150 microns, essential vitamins, fatty acids, and proteins, all preserved naturally without needing refrigeration.

It is recommended to dose 5 ml per 200 liters (50 gallons) of aquarium water daily for optimal results. Consistency is key.
No, Salifert Coral Food is naturally preserved and does not require refrigeration. Store it in a cool, dry place.
This food is suitable for a wide range of corals, including soft corals, leather corals, and hard corals (LPS and SPS), due to its varied particle sizes.
Salifert Coral Food is specifically formulated for corals and other invertebrates. It is not intended as a primary food source for fish.
The best time to dose is typically when the aquarium lights are dimmed or off, as this maximizes coral feeding and minimizes the food being consumed by fish.
It is recommended to turn off protein skimmers and powerheads during and for about 15-30 minutes after dosing to allow corals adequate time to ingest the food.
A 250ml bottle, when dosed at 5ml per 200 liters daily, will last approximately 100 days for a 50-gallon (200 liter) aquarium.
This can occur if too much is dosed. Reduce the daily dosage and ensure adequate water flow and filtration. Perform a small water change if necessary.
Ensure correct dosing times (dimmed or off lights) and temporarily reduce flow. Check water parameters for stress factors like ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate.
Shake the bottle vigorously before each use. The varied particle sizes are normal, but thorough shaking ensures even distribution.
This may indicate overfeeding or insufficient nutrient export. Review your dosing amount and consider increasing the frequency of water changes or optimizing your protein skimmer.
