Marc Weiss Reef Bugs

REEF BUGS? CREATES REAL LIVE MARINE MICROPLANKTON, NANOPLANKTON ANDPICOPLANKTON FOR YOUR MARINE REEF AQUARIUM IN THIRTY MINUTES! Natural, notfrozen, not dried, not freeze dried, not cooked, no preservatives! IT'SALIVE!REEF BUGS? REALLY WORK BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT A PLANKTON SUBSTITUTE! REEFBUGS? ARE THE REAL THING! IT IS NOT PRESERVED DEAD PLANKTON OR FINELY GROUNDFISH FOODS! REEF BUGS? is real reef or marine ?snow? which is an aggregate ofLIVING MICROBES clinging to organic, inorganic, volcanic, mineral, living orrecently dead matter. It provides a significant amount of reef nutrition forhard and soft corals, filter feeders and cryptic organisms that are in liverock. Reef Bugs? yields particle sizes down to less than a micron and up tomacroscopic particles. The individual living organisms are microscopic. Theycannot be viewed with typical microscopes. The visible particles in the productare the aggregates the microbes are clinging to.These microbial aggregates,primarily bacterial, and fungal (yeasts, lichens and related organisms) provide30% or more of the planktonic matter raining down on the reef. They adhere tothe coral mucus where the corals retain them and "farm" them fortheir own use on their mucus layer. A section of natural coral reef comprisingthe volume of a one hundred gallon aquarium, has about three quarters of apound of Reef Bugs - type bio -aggregates raining down upon it in a day.Truereef / marine snow is alive and repeatedly innoculates the reef with desirableedible organisms and those which are necessary for balancing the substrate andthe creatures colonizing it. Reef Bugs? is a unique product having thesecharacteristics.Reef Bugs? contains twelve strains of edible, non - pathogenicmarine microbes. They are not genetically modified. Instead they areselectively bred naturally occurring organisms. They are in an encysted sporestate. They are packed dry in a matrix of minerals, vitamins, and carbohydratesthat will enable hatching in about thirty minutes of being placed in typicalreef aquarium water. The microbes themselves have a desirable HUFA content.Should the microbial aggregates escape being captured and colonizing the coralsthey behave in a beneficial manner These organisms have been cultured to eatorganic matter. While doing so they can sequester phosphorus, fix nitrogen,clean the substrate. Those gathering at the substrate or biofilter obviouslyhave the best chance of escaping. The intention of REEF BUGS? is that they beeaten first. Survival of the fittest will ensue where the strongest microbeswill outgrow others. All the microbes won?t succeed in colonization long termas they fall out of the water column, are consumed, filtered out etc. thusrepeated applications are needed.Most significantly, there are particlesincluded for the microbes to piggyback on, creating a true marine reef/marinesnow. Living cells will even be coating other living cells. They will alsobegin to divide and reproduce upon hydration. - the cell count will exceed thefour billion per gram as stated on the box exponentially as these cells divide.The use of SPS Grow? and/or Soft Coral Grow? will enhance the process bycreating a matrix on the coral mucus layer for microbial colonization. There isis an inherent population of microscopic organisms in an established reefaquarium that can also benefit from SPS Grow? and Soft Coral Grow? About ninety- two thousand species of organisms can inhabit the typical reef aquarium(Shimek, pers. comm.). It is impossible to make blanket statement as to theextent any particular product will nourish your reef. One size doesn?t fit all.Reef Bugs? is the only product that can actually restore bio - compounds andmissing components that replicate reef nutritional input in a scientificallysound and intelligent manner. However, if you find other products beneficial,by all means alternate with Reef Bugs?. The bugs will prevent the pollutionmany of them cause!Reef Bugs? endeavors to provide a live food with itsattendant enzymes and hard to define factors that only a living feed organismcan possess. The nutritional value of these organisms is dependent on the waterthey are living in, and what they adhere to, or might eat themselves onceexcysted. For example a vegetable?s nutritional value cannot be ascertainedfrom its seed. The seed will ultimately be judged after light, watering,fertilization has turned it into an edible vegetable. Depending on thosevariables - the vegetable can grow into little more that water and cellulose orinto a nutritious foodstuff.In the reef aquarium, previously not seen crypticorganisms are likely to appear with use of this product - this generallyhappens within several weeks. Other creatures will show behaviors that indicatethe taking in of the Reef Bugs? aggregate. For example, pods breed much fasterand are more active. When Reef Bugs? are added to a marine reef aquarium within a few minutes it becomes a colorful and interesting time to observe yourreef life. Feeding at night under artificial moonlights can produce results notseen before as well. How to use Reef Bugs?A whole teaspoon (about 1.5 grams)could be used per hundred gallons a day in a ?dialed in?, heavily stocked reeftank. Start conservatively, feeding one half teaspoon per day per 100 gallonsdaily. This has proved adequate and desirable as a starting application. Themix of species as well as the quantity of the critters make each aquariumunique and remember if the critter closes up; they've had enough for awhile.Ifexcess is noted in the skimmer - you are probably using too much for thecurrent bioload and decrease the portion by the wasted amount. Powerfulskimming is likely to remove some before it is eaten even if the proper rationis fed. If none is found in the skimmer the ration can be increased. Ascritters grow, more Reef Bugs? will be consumed. Take a cup of aquarium water,put in the quantity of dry Reef Bugs? as preferred, and stir. Stir again asoften as you wish...but at least one more time after ten minutes to suspend thepowder as thoroughly as reasonably possible. Stir again at thirty minutes (ormore) and pour into aquarium. It all will soon dissolve. By then the bugs willhave more than doubled in population. Alternatively, just sprinkle into tank,preferably in an area of strong current. It will take longer for full effect asthe excysting component is much diluted. Undissolved particles my be eaten by afish or some other non - target critter first. Thoough it is harmless andbeneficial to fishes etc. Many organisms will consume the powder ?raw? ...including new born and even larger seahorses. I do not suggest that the ReefBugs be used for the purpose of feeding anything but the smallest of larvalfishes as these require much larger foods, in size as well as volume.StorageRe-close bag by squeezing out air and resealing - it zips closed. Keepin cool dry place. It will be good for at least one year kept cool and dry.Prior experience with the components has allowed viable storage for much longer- at least three years so far. A frost-free refrigerator works well.Don?tfreeze for extended periods of time. Solutions of Reef Bugs? in aquarium watermay be made up in advance and refrigerated. They do not suffer from temperatureshock by being poured into warmer aquarium water. Stir before pouring in anddiscard what's left after three days of use. Allow the bugs to increase inpopulation for a half hour or more before chilling, to increase the organismcount.
