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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eSinking disc wafer in a 520g large supply for active algae-eater feeding programs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eShape-retaining cassava starch disc allows less aggressive species to graze over extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHigh spirulina content and multiple algae sources (spirulina, kelp) for herbivore-appropriate nutrition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e42% protein from fish meal, krill meal, krill paste, and soybean meal\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFiber ≤5% for herbivore digestive health\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eβ-Glucan and Bacillus Subtilis prebiotic bacteria support immune function and digestive efficiency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGarlic extract for palatability and feeding stimulation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNo astaxanthin — color support through plant-based spirulina and kelp pigments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e520g \/ 18.3oz supply for heavily stocked algae-eater tanks and multi-tank operations\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFreshwater 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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMulti-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\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFish stores feeding display plecos and suckerfish daily who need more supply between orders than the 160g provides\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePro Tips:\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale disc count to the number and size of algae-eating fish, not the tank volume.\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.
