Reef Jerky

Preservative-free Nutrition.
Fish and Coral Mico-Feeding Perfected. 

Reef Jerky is a specialty blend of whole-animal plankton for frequent feeding, small-mouthed planktivores such as anthias, wrasses, cardinalfish, dwarf angels, corals, and filter-feeding invertebrates that require high-quality proteins, fatty acids, antioxidants, and color-enhancing carotenoids to thrive.

Key Features and Benefits
Reef Jerky provides excellent nutrition for many fish and coral types. The number of feedings each day depends greatly on the quantity, species, activity levels, and mouth sizes of the fish. 

Preservative-free
Reef Jerky is a preservative-free and freeze-dried marine protein blend. By freeze-drying our food, we are able to keep it at peak freshness and quality. Reef Jerky is free of fillers, processed fish meal, terrestrial proteins, and any other pellets or flakes on the market. 

Instructions & Directions
As a freeze-dried product, Reef Jerky is initially buoyant until completely hydrated. As a result, there are a few ways in which you can use Reef Jerky. The supplied spoon measures approximately one traditional cube of frozen food by dry weight. Many small-mouthed planktivorous fish benefit from Reef Jerky as it can be used with our Plank mico-feeder for continuous feedings of smaller meals throughout the day to ensure sufficient energy to sustain their activity levels. 

Auto Feeder
We recommend using our Plank micro-feeding auto feeder for ideal rehydration and broadcast feeding. 

Feeding Ring
You can also use a feeding ring to rehydrate Reef Jerky. Just know that using this method, some food may go down the overflow because there is no feeding tube to lower the food in the water column. 

Mixing into Frozen Foods
Many frozen foods are only a single ingredient; adding Reef Jerky into a defrosted frozen cube helps provide fish and corals a more diverse source of vital proteins, macroalgae, fatty acids, antioxidants, and color-enhancing carotenoids

Mixing in a cup of RODI
Reef Jerky can be mixed into a small cup of RODI water until rehydrated (2-4 minutes), then poured into an area of high water flow to broadcast feed.

Storage 

• Best kept refrigerated and dry once opened for long-term shelf life, but will not spoil at room temperature.
• Store Reef Jerky in a dark container. Light degrades the carotenoid pigments that benefit fish health and coloration.  
• While Reef Jerky looks delicious and smells wonderful, it is not for human consumption. Keep out of reach of children.
