Cyclop-eeze?

[mrdc]

I bought a can of whole freeze dried cyclop-eeze but there aren't any directions. How much do you add?

I'd do a "pinch". It's just another kind of fish food that corals also benefit from.

Thanks Wax. I will give it a try now...

Well I added it but it doesn't seem to help the fish much. Just a bunch of dust floating around. The fish can smell it and were going crazy looking for something to bite. Hopefully the corals and fitler feeders will enjoy it.

Any of the fish that are normally planktivores will eat it. My Chromis go wild for cyclop-eeze.
If you just drop it on the surface of the water it has trouble sinking. I'd add it to some water, shake it up, then pour it in. Sorry I should've been clearer.

I use a 10ml test tube from one of my old test kits.

i use the frozen variety and liquid life pump(from my anenome) freeze drying process removes some of the nutrients in foods.try presaoking the cyclopseze in a bit of tank water and add garlic extreme then dump it in should float better that way one would think

I was thinking about adding to my frozen foods when I soak it with vita-chem and garlic.

Good plan.

Try Cyclo at night when the corals feed.

Add a small pinch because a little goes along way with this stuff and it can get messy! Good Luck! p.s you gotta try the Frozen!

I'm gonna buy the frozen next time, my fish won't touch the powder.

My shrimps seem to go after the cyclo more than anything else. I do mix the cyclo in with my frozen food and sometimes I squirt feed cyclo at night when the corals are open. My cyclo wafers should be in today so I will find out if my fish like the bigger pieces.

I spot feed my corals with it also.
