New Life Spectrum Reef Cell Large Microcapsules 400-600 Microns

New Life Spectrum’s exceptional solutions for your reef aquarium: like their microencapsulated reef powder Reef/Cell designed for filter feeding invertebrates and SPS/stony corals. Microencapsulation means that it doesn’t leach into the water and neutrally buoyant. Large Microcapsules 400-600 Microns.

Reef Cell is designed for SPS stony corals and filter feeding invertebrates, with food particle sizes from ten to 80 microns, with 80% of particles 50 microns or less. This is equivalent to the size of most phytoplankton and zooplankton.

The micro-encapsulation process creates a non-polluting, water-stable particle that tends to be neutrally-buoyant in salt water and stays in an aquarium water-column for an extended time. Micro-encapsulation is a process developed in the pharmaceutical industry in which micro-particles of nutrient are embedded in a matrix of water-stable binder such as alginate.
