The Reef Blueprint Integr8 Reef is a plankton specifically formulated for the aquaculture of Cnidarians, Bivalves, Tunicates, and Sponges, with a size of up to 800 μm and augmented properties.

Reef Blueprint Integr8 Reef (25 G)

Here's a clearer version of the text you provided without any spelling, grammar, or punctuation errors:

 

"This dry blend, with a particle size of 800 microns, is ideal for corals, bivalves, and tunicates. It enhances cohort robustness, feeding response, tissue synthesis rate, and color richness when applied consistently. The blend is made up of marine zooplankton (Arthropoda) and phytoplankton with rich fatty acids, amino acids, and biopigment profiles. It also contains specific immunostimulants, protein biosynthesis stimulants, and biological pigment precursors. The low PO4 per unit mass feature allows for greater feeding frequency. This blend is free of fillers, preservatives, and food colors."

How to Use the Reef Blueprint Integr8 Reef

Integr8 Reef is a formulation used in commercial marine aquaculture and university facilities for raising cnidarians, tunicates, marine bivalves, and sponges. It has been observed to improve feeding response, polyp extension, coloration, and tissue growth rate. 

This preservative-free blend of marine zooplankton and phytoplankton features rich fatty acid, amino acid, and biopigment profiles, specific immunostimulants, protein biosynthesis stimulants, and biological pigment precursors. It yields improved cohort robustness, feeding response, rate of tissue synthesis, and richness of color when applied consistently.

It is important to keep this product out of reach of children and away from sunlight. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Store in a cool, dry location. 

Unmixed product does not require refrigeration. Store tightly-sealed in a cool, dry location. Do not permit contamination of the container with moisture or foreign material. Follow the preparation steps provided.

How to Prepare 

Please make sure to saturate Integr8 Reef with water before applying it. If the components are not saturated, surface skimming devices may lose them. You can use either system water or purified water during the saturation process, depending on the method of application. The ratio of water (in mL) to Integr8 Reef (in g) should be approximately 5:1. For example, mix 100 mL of water with 20 g of Integr8 Reef. If you want a thinner consistency, then add more water.

Mixing

After mixing, cap and shake the vessel well to saturate the components of Integr8 Reef. Let it sit for 1-2 minutes before use. Shake the vessel again before each use to re-suspend the components.

How Much is Required?

To determine the mass of Integr8 Reef required, apply 0.20 g per square foot of colonized area per day. If you are raising suspension-feeding sessile invertebrates such as cnidarians, poriferans, sedentarians, bivalvians, ascidians, etc., you may modify the application frequency and mass of Integr8 Reef applied per cohort requirements.

It is recommended to determine the mass of Integr8 Reef required for a period of no more than 12 hours. Add this amount to a clean mixing vessel with enough system water to form a suspension with the desired fluid consistency. If you are using system water, use the entire contents of the vessel within 12 hours of initial mixing. This approach is recommended because the temperature of the suspension will closely match the system temperature, as opposed to using a suspension which is considerably colder due to refrigeration. Target individual cohort members or apply suspension in close proximity to circulation pump discharge.

Mixing a Large Amount

If you are mixing a larger amount of Integr8 Reef suspension than will be required for 12 hours, substitute purified water for system water and store the mixture at T≤40°F outside of periods of use. Pour the required volume of mixture into a syringe or separate dosing vessel. Do not contaminate the mixture with system water. If you are using a dosing pump, it is recommended to use a magnetic stirring platform to maintain homogeneity of the suspension. Locate the point of entry in close proximity to circulation pump discharge. If applying manually, shake the vessel well prior to application to ensure homogeneity of suspension. Target individual cohort members or apply suspension in close proximity to circulation pump discharge, as appropriate.
