Brightwell Aquatics Vitamarin-M Advanced multi-vitamin supplement for all marine fish and reef aquaria. Overview of Brightwell Vitamarin-M Full-spectrum vitamin supplement formulated to benefit marine fishes, corals and other invertebrates, and other marine aquarium inhabitants. Provides a full-complement of vitamins in the same ratios found in the tissues of filter-feeding marine invertebrates, organisms that extract plankton from the surrounding water and gain their nutritional benefit, and which are in turn consumed by many reef inhabitants. Requires no refrigeration. Composed of purified water and ultra-high purity materials. Formulated by a marine scientist. Instructions & Guidelines for using Vitamarin-M from Brightwell Aquatics If using to fortify food (recommended): Place food in a clean container such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough Vitamarin-M to saturate. Allow at least 5 minutes to elapse before feeding, enabling adequate time for the vitamins to become thoroughly absorbed by the food. Liquid food suspensions may be fortified by adding 1 ml (approximately 8 drops) Vitamarin-M per 10 ml of food suspension; stir to mix and allow 5 minutes to elapse before feeding.Maximum benefit of any liquid food suspension is achieved when the food is target-fed to the intended organisms rather than poured into a stream of water and allowed to disperse randomly throughout the aquarium.

Brightwell Aquatics AngeLixir Brightwell Aquatics AngeLixir is a Free-Form Amino Acid Food Soak for Spongivorous Marine Fishes. Overview of Brightwell AngeLixir Food Additive Complex of free-form amino acids in the same ratios found within tissues of sponges. Utilizes natural attractants and marine-derived proteins to improve feeding response and increase protein percentage of fish foods, respectively. Beneficial to all fishes whose diets are in large part composed of sponges, including angelfishes, butterflyfishes, Moorish Idols, and their respective allies. Free-form amino acids: Encourage vibrant coloration. Provide the building blocks of protein to encourage the formation of new tissue Encourage new tissue growth to aid in recovery from wounds incurred during aggressive encounters with tankmates or during spawning periods. Formulated based upon sponge tissue analysis and marine finfish culture. Instructions & Guidelines for using AngeLixir from Brightwell Aquatics AngeLixir is readily absorbed by natural and prepared foods. Shake inner bottle well before each use. To fortify natural frozen foods: Rinse food in a fine-mesh net under running cold tap water until the food has thawed and the solution in which the food was frozen has been discarded. Then, squeeze as much of the excess liquid from the food as possible. Place food in a clean container, such as a small bowl or cup, and add only enough AngeLixir to saturate. Feed after 5 minutes have elapsed. Repeat three - five times daily to ensure that fish are receiving adequate food.To fortify freeze-dried and prepared foods (e.g. pellets): Place food in a clean container such as a small bowl or cup and add only enough AngeLixir to saturate. Feed after 5 minutes have elapsed. Repeat three – five times daily to ensure that fish are receiving adequate food. It has been our experience that natural foods, such as krill, mysis, and brine shrimp (thoroughly rinsed if frozen) are generally more readily accepted by newly introduced fishes than are most prepared foods, presumably due to familiar chemical and visual cues associated with natural prey items (as opposed to the relative unfamiliarity of prepared foods). If a fish has spent sufficient time in a retailer's system to become acclimated to feeding on specific types of foods, it is wise to purchase and feed the same foods to increase the chances that the fish will begin eating shortly after introduction to its' new surroundings. AngeLixir may be used to enhance the nutritional value of, and feeding response to, these foods.Observe water quality at all times, compensating for the increase in dissolved organic material entering the system with each feeding as necessary.

Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom 1 - 30um Phytoplankton Suspension for Soft Corals, Clams, Sponges, and Other Filter-Feeders Overview Overview of Brightwell Aquatics PhytoChrom Provides 6 types of phytoplankton ranging in size from 1 - 30 micron. Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, bryozoans, larval crustaceans, and juvenile fishes. Formulated to provide over 200-million phytoplankton cells per ml. Does not require refrigeration. Supplemented with a proprietary amino acid to aid in coloration of invertebrates. Formulated by a marine scientist. Instructions & Guidelines for using AngeLixir from Brightwell Aquatics Shake product well before using. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding food suspensions to aquaria, and allow 10 - 15 minutes after feeding before resuming operation of filtration.Target Feeding (recommended): Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; pour 5 ml (1 capful) into a small container and suck a portion of this into the feeding device, then slowly discharge the contents of the device 2 - 4" upstream of the target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Rinse the portion (inside and outside) of the feeder that was placed into aquarium water before placing it into this bottle (if feeding directly from the bottle rather than from a separate container); failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose.

Brightwell Aquatics Microvore Microdiet for Planktivorous Marine Fishes, Corals & other Suspension-Feeding Invertebrates Overview of Brightwell Aquatics Microvore Suspension of particulate, microencapsulated marine proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates fortified with complex and free-form amino and fatty acids, and vitamins important to immune system function. Appropriate for feeding many LPS, zooxanthellate, and azooxanthellate soft corals, as well as gorgonians, anemones, and other solitary and colonial polyps, particularly at night when tentacles are extended to maximize chances of prey-capture. Readily eaten by a multitude of reef-associated fishes known to feed on zooplankton and food particles drifting in the water column, including anemonefishes, basslets and pseudochromids, anthias, damselfishes and chromis, pygmy angelfishes, cardinalfishes, dartfishes, jawfishes, hawkfishes, wrasse, and many surgeonfishes. Does not require refrigeration. Formulated by a marine scientist. Instructions & Guidelines for using Microvore from Brightwell Aquatics Shake product well before using. Turn protein skimmer and other forms of mechanical filtration off prior to adding Microvore to aquaria, and allow 10 - 15 minutes after use before resuming operation of filtration.Target Feeding (corals): Target feeding may be carried out with a lengthy piece of rigid air tubing, plastic syringe, pipette, dropper, or similar device; suck a portion of Microvore into the feeding device, then slowly discharge the contents of the device 2 - 4" upstream of the target organism(s). Repeat these steps as deemed necessary. Do not place items that have been exposed to aquarium water inside this container without first thoroughly rinsing them (inside and outside) with fresh water; failure to do so will contaminate the product and encourage it to decompose. See below regarding maximum recommended feeding amount. Most zooxanthellate corals extend their tentacles at night, when the majority of coralivorous and zooplanktivorous fishes are asleep and the abundance of zooplankton in the water column passing over and through the reef is at its greatest.
