Feeding Guide

Formula Two is the algae-led half of the pair, for herbivorous to omnivorous marine tropical fish — tangs, surgeonfish, angels, blennies and rabbitfish, the ones that graze all day in the wild.

Ocean Nutrition’s instruction for this food: feed one to three times daily, and never more than the fish clear in five minutes. Take out anything still drifting after that.

Several small feeds beat one large one. Uneaten food is the single biggest source of the nitrate and phosphate that later show up as algae.

Grazers do better on frequent small feeds than on one big one, because that is closer to how they eat naturally. Alternate with Formula One where the tank also holds carnivores.

Pack Size

156 g jar.

Ocean Nutrition make this line in 34 g, 71 g and 156 g jars, and in 2 kg and 5 kg buckets for the trade.

Buy the size you will use within a few months. Dry food loses vitamin content once the tub has been opened and the air is getting at it, so a big tub on a small tank is a false economy.

Keep the lid closed and the tub dry, cool and out of sunlight. Never shake wet hands over it or dip a wet net in — damp is what turns a good tub mouldy.

Freshness & Storage

Every batch we dispatch carries a minimum of 6 months’ remaining shelf life. Store this product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, with the cap or inner foil closed tightly after each use.
