LPS Pellets rock!!!!

I started testing and feeding various Nems with the ERA LPS Pellets the last few weeks. Took this one home as it didn't look well.

This RBTA was about 2" accross 4 weeks ago, with just LPS pellets and silversides, it has grown to 8" across.

Started to bubble up like it was supposed to after a week.

how much and do you stock these?! will my wrasses eat them before the lps gets to?! lol!

Ken, silversides alone would do it.

Can't judge a product well if you supplement with big frozen foods. Takes away from any actual or factual results.

Nice nem though.

If you test with pellet alone, I would be interested in those results.

Mine doubled in size to over 8" with just mysis. Then split.

They were with pellets for the first few week, brought the nem back to life and more.

Supplimented silversides the last week or so.

Same nems without pellets, but fed silversides, did not bubble up like we like.

A container of LPS pellets are great for anything with a mouth, but I notice fish don't like them as much, $20

New Era have seen similar results across the globe, a lot of research goes into their products and Kens test really compounds this.

The New Era LPS pellet is one of our fastest selling lines through our dealers, coupled close even with the Grazing diet.

If you are concerned about hungry fish getting to the diet, target feed at night.

Toronto Zoo now feed their fish on New Era after extensive nutritional evauation by their in house micro biologists, same at Vancouver aquarium and we are now communicating with Montreal aquarium for feeding their Rays and sharks.

I tried and tested Fauna too, both brands have their specialties.

I know my scoly did love Fauna, but my nems love ERA.

I've been using LPS Pellet from New Era for awhile. LPS react to it right away. My aussie war corals love it.

Thx for reply, the point i was trying to make that LPS will respond to any pellet direct feeding, as long as food is not stolen by shrimps it will respond relatively quickly and open its mouth. At least my LPS does.

Aqua-Digital 03-24-2012 12:37 PM

Its not to do with how they respond in terms of acting upon the food provided but the long term health benefits of the consumed food.

If you research new era they are trusted globally by most of the big names in the marine life industry, names such as Dubai Mall aquarium, toronto Zoo, Steinhart, Vancouver marine research laboratory. The list is massive, just have a look on their website

Yes all foods presented will likely be swallowed by an LPS but its the benefit that food gives the coral or fish that is important, and this is where NEA success comes in.

if you want the best for you fish and corals then feed NEW ERA, tall statement I know but then ask why do nearly all research and public aquariums use it?

Toronto Zoo went through months of in house evaluation of NEW ERA before accepting it, and we have just dispatched to them 50Kg of grazing diet, just one product on the list ;)
