These convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy required for growth.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFEEDING GUIDE\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eCorals have evolved to feed at night when it is safe to extend their feeding polyps. The lack of coral polyp predators in our systems means that it is possible to entice your coral to feed during the day. If you introduce a small amount of food 5 mins before you intend feeding it trains the  coral to extend its polyps and be ready for the main meal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf possible turn off sump pump\/filter pump for 10 to 20 min while you feed, leaving the circulation pumps on to keep the food in suspension.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMix the food with a small amount of tank water and target each coral using a turkey baster. If you cannot turn off the main pump still use the above delivery system but add the food upstream of your corals and allow it to circulate. If you do not have a turkey baster place a pinch directly under the water in an area of fast flow.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDepending on population density, feed daily or every other day\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUse one scoop of SPS food for every 50 L of water. For heavily stocked aquariums use two scoops for every 50 L. For best results mix with a small quantity of aquarium water and add to water flow\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEnsure the coral is positioned with sufficient flow to allow waste food particles to be removed\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDo not put wet fingers in the pot\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStore in a cool dry place\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/article\u003e \u003cdiv id=\"packoptions\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8406\" src=\"https:\/\/bespokeaquariums.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/sps.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"tableouter\"\u003e \u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ctable class=\"spectable\" border=\"0\" width=\"92%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"4\"\u003e \u003ctbody\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"20%\"\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnique micronized flake formulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNatural ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLess waste – improved water quality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSustainably sourced ingredients\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"20%\"\u003eComposition\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"\u003eFish and Fish Derivatives, Derivatives of Vegetable Origin, Molluscs and Crustaceans, Oils and Fats, Minerals.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"20%\"\u003eAnalytical Constituents\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"\u003eProtein 53.7%, Inorganic Matter 12.2%, Fat Content 10.5%.\u003c\/td\u003e \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e \u003cth scope=\"col\" align=\"left\" valign=\"top\" width=\"20%\"\u003eAdditives\u003c\/th\u003e \u003ctd align=\"left\" valign=\"top\"\u003eTechnological additives: Antioxidants, preservatives.
