Polyp Lab Reef-Roids 37g

Product Description

Polyp Lab Reef-Roids 37g is a coral food madd to promote healthy growth, vibrant coloration, and improved polyp extension in reef aquariums. It is made from a blend of naturally occurring marine plankton, and  a specialized species of zooplankton.

With a fine particle size of approximately 150–200 microns, Reef-Roids is ideal for corals such as Goniopora, Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Ricordea, and many other LPS and soft corals. It mixes easily with aquarium water, and allows corals more time to feed while minimizing waste and helping maintain water quality.

Key Features

  • Premium coral food made from natural marine plankton

  • Supports faster coral growth and enhanced coloration

  • Encourages strong feeding response and polyp extension

  • Ideal for Goniopora, Zoanthids, Mushrooms, Ricordea, and other filter-feeding corals

  • Fine 150–200 micron particle size for optimal feeding

  • Mixes easily and stays suspended in the water column

  • Free from processed fish meals that can rapidly degrade water quality

How to Use

  1. Mix 1 teaspoon of Reef-Roids per 100 gallons (380 L) of aquarium water with a small amount of tank water to create a smooth paste. For smaller aquariums, use ¼ teaspoon per 25 gallons (95 L).

  2. Turn off circulation and wavemakers before feeding.

  3. Use a syringe, pipette, or turkey baster to target feed corals directly. Alternatively, disperse the mixture into a high-flow area of the aquarium.

  4. Leave pumps off for approximately 10–15 minutes to allow corals to capture the food before restoring normal water flow.

  5. Feed 2–3 times per week, or adjust the feeding frequency based on your corals' needs and your aquarium's nutrient levels.

LIGHT

LOW: Place coral at the bottom of the tank. Depending on the type, coral may need to be placed off sand and therefore mounted on a ceramic disc of piece of rock.

MEDIUM: Place coral at mid-range of the tank. Best placed/glued on top of a rock scape at mid-range height. 

HIGH: Place coral from mid range to just below water level. SPS coral are shallow growing so they require and are able to tolerate intense light.

FLOW

LOW: Most soft coral do well with a small, gentle pulse. There are certain corals that can even be placed in areas of indirect flow, meaning places aside a rock structure or set into a entrance to a cave style space.

MEDIUM: Many LPS types of coral prefer medium pulse current. Most Euphyllia or corals that have more tissue structure connected to their skeleton, don’t like to be in a high flow area like the direct flow of the wave pump.

HIGH: Similar to high light, SPS enjoy being in some heavy current. Most LPS and SPS that branch encrust or plate prefer high flow that simulates the top water waves.

SKILL

ENTRY: While some may say beginner level, "Entry" is a good term to be used when starting out in the world of corals and marine life. Prior to adding livestock, you want to ensure that your reef has the proper parameters including zero levels of ammonia and nitrite. Seeing traces of nitrate in your waters is a good sign - just keep them at a lower level of 2ppm to 10ppm. Maintaining correct temperature and salinity are a huge factor to stable parameters. Starting to monitor your PH, alkalinity, calcium and magnesium is a great habit to get into to keep a successful reef.

While some soft coral don’t require too much light, having a proper reef light that puts out the proper pars is very important. You'll also want to have a good amount of flow and protected rock areas, as placing corals in their happy spot is ideal for success.
