New life spectrum sinking pellets are...floating???

[Miami Reef]

I don’t understand why. I have the 2mm SINKING pellets, but they are floating. Is this normal? How do I get them to sink?

Also, I currently feed frozen mysis shrimp, but I want to know which pellet brand is better/healthier ON or NLS

Those pellets are great I use them for my morning feeding. Yes that is very normal. I cut a 20 oz soda bottle top off and use it for my feeding container. Just pour the desired amount of pellets in then add a little tank water in swirle around and pour into tank most of pellets should sink. Hope that helps.

It is normal for them to float. Having increased surface agitation will help them sink faster.

Dropping them from 6+" helps them to break the surface tension of the water and sink immediately.

Thank you!

Last question for the day! I know people recommend NLS over Ocean Nutrition. I have both brands myself. I’m just curious because the ON has more protein. I want to know why NLS is getting better reviews.
