Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme Fish Food, 520 g

Large-Supply Sinking Disc Wafer for Algae-Eater Tanks and Multi-Tank Hobbyists

The Dymax Algae Wafers Supreme (520g) is the large supply container in the range, suited for freshwater setups with multiple large plecos or a mix of algae-eating species, hobbyists managing two or more tanks with dedicated algae eaters, or pet stores feeding display plecos and suckerfish daily. The sinking disc formula is unchanged: cassava starch provides the structural binder that keeps the disc intact as fish rasp and graze, spirulina and kelp deliver plant-based nutrition appropriate for herbivorous species, and the 42% protein from fish meal, krill meal, and krill paste supports healthy growth alongside the vegetable matter base.

At 520g, the supply covers months of regular nightly feeding even in moderately stocked pleco tanks, and the per-gram cost drops significantly compared to the 160g. For hobbyists running three or more pleco tanks or keeping multiple large-bodied plecos that each consume a full disc nightly, the 520g eliminates the restocking friction that comes with smaller containers without requiring the full bulk commitment of the 1.2kg.

Key Features:

• Sinking disc wafer in a 520g large supply for active algae-eater feeding programs
• Shape-retaining cassava starch disc allows less aggressive species to graze over extended periods
• High spirulina content and multiple algae sources (spirulina, kelp) for herbivore-appropriate nutrition
• 42% protein from fish meal, krill meal, krill paste, and soybean meal
• Fiber ≤5% for herbivore digestive health
• β-Glucan and Bacillus Subtilis prebiotic bacteria support immune function and digestive efficiency
• Garlic extract for palatability and feeding stimulation
• No astaxanthin — color support through plant-based spirulina and kelp pigments
• 520g / 18.3oz supply for heavily stocked algae-eater tanks and multi-tank operations

Ideal For:

• Freshwater tanks with two or more large plecos or a mixed population of algae-eating species where the 160g container is depleted too quickly for practical weekly management
• Multi-tank hobbyists running two or more freshwater setups each with algae-eating fish who want a single larger supply covering all tanks without restocking more than once a month
• Fish stores feeding display plecos and suckerfish daily who need more supply between orders than the 160g provides

Pro Tips:

• Scale disc count to the number and size of algae-eating fish, not the tank volume. A 520g supply at one disc per fish per night feeds a tank with three adult common plecos for roughly three to four months. Two small otocinclus might consume less than a third of a disc per night. Calibrate based on what is actually eaten each morning, not tank size.
• Use the 520g to supply multiple small tanks efficiently. If you keep plecos in grow-out tanks, breeding setups, or species tanks of different sizes, a single 520g container fed across all of them is more cost-effective and simpler to manage than individual smaller containers per tank.
• Decant a two- to three-week working supply into a smaller airtight container. Opening the 520g nightly introduces humidity into the container with each feeding. A smaller sealed secondary container for daily access, refilled every two to three weeks from the main 520g, keeps both portions in better condition over the full supply period.
