Talking NEW -Tang Grazing Diet

For a long time now New Era have had a huge block for public aquariums to use for their Tangs and other herbivore fish, but NOW we can finally bring this amazing product to you in retail size!





Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTfdXlEL5yM

Available with feeding station the NEW MINI Marine grazers will come in 110g and 290g

available within 4-5 weeks

Here is what the media has been saying

"New Era has a new product for your marine grazing fish. The new MINI MarineGrazer is a wheel-shaped disc that get affixed to your aquarium glass with a suction cup creating a feeding station for your fish to snack all day. The Mini MarineGrazer from New Era Aquaculture is a much easier and more nutritious way to feed grazing fish than folding up some nori or even worse, throwing some romaine lettuce into your aquarium.
Designed for omnivorous grazing fish like tangs, butterflies and angels, the New Era MINI MarineGrazer was developed as a smaller version of its larger grazing diet logs used extensively in public aquariums.

New Era has continues to use cold extruded manufacturing processes keeping a higher nutritional profile and more digestible food for healthier livestock. The company also touts using natural, sustainably sourced ingredients."

Very cool! Do you have a list of ingredients? I'm wondering what they are binding with. Also, how long does the disk stay intact before it will fall off the holder? I'm wondering if it is designed to be replaced everyday or something that would sit in there for a week (maybe not the best idea).

I don't have any tangs, but I would like to try this product out for the rest of them. I would also be interested in trying a Spirulina disk if they ever decide to make one as Spirulina is good for color enhancement.

Ok think i can answer this better now doing my homework

ALL New era products are cold pressure extruded, the products are bound by high pressure (NOT HEAT), there is also a high algal content which forms a starch bonding agent that is rich in nutrition.

The diet breaks down readily for easy consumption as you cna see in the video but does not fall apart.

Put enough in for one feed at a time.

Excellent! Can't wait to try it out.

PS - awesome fish in the video!

PPS - Thanks for the quick email reply! The ingredients look good! I think they are adding extra starch to the mix, though I don't see that being any trouble.
