Mid-Columbia Saltwater Aquarium Club

April meeting 4/14 @ 7PM - Grant's house

Laura and Jim will be hosting the May meeting this Saturday the 12th and it will be the usual of food, drinks, raffle and fun.
 
Doors will be open at 6:00 pm for social talk and the meeting will start at 7:00.  Parking gets a little tight and the city says you can't park on 4th but there is a parking lot a block away.   Meeting is usually held in the backyard so feel free to bring your favorite lawn chair, weather permitting of course.

If you need address/directions, contact a club member.

Best if you park at Mini Mall (where the spaghetti establishment use to be)
 
You will get to see his new frag tank set up in the making.
 
Hope to see you there!

CoralsCaptiv-E is the latest product from Poland-based SeaSlug and is a small particle, filter food for your smaller polyp filter feeders in your tank. The CoralsCaptiv-E pearls are touted as being highly nutritious with high levels of protein, vitamins and Omega-3 fatty acids all to help to improve the overall health, growth and coloration in your critters. They are also very small in size measuring around 100?m.

The company is aiming this product for corals with poor prey capture responses and those with smaller polyps — Montipora, Porites, Acropora, gorgonians and some soft corals. The food is also good for those housing non-photosynthetic corals (NPS) or azooxanthellate corals. SeaSlug uses a pharmaceutical grade production process they state allowing it to maintain the original taste, texture and nutrition of the live animals the product simulates. This product competes with other foods on the market including the ReefPearls we brought you earlier. A 100g package of CoralsCaptiv-E will run you around €11.99 (approx. $17 USD).

I never turn my skimmer off during feeding.   That is each persons preference.  This food is high in protien and Omega threes.  It is small enough to feed the hardest Small Polyp Stonies.

I will  have to look where you can order it.   Most LPS will eat Mysis shrimp, Cylopeez, pellets, etc.

LPS love frozen natural foods.  Mysis especially.   I would look for foods processed with little perservatices.  Jimbo has a lot of foods that would be perfect.    Frozen Rotifers, frozen Mysis shrimp, Ogo, etc.   Things with Omega threes and natural foods with lots of protiens is what I would highly recommend.
