Why does this item ship in one or two days?

This is an item that we arrange to ship directly from the manufacturer. We do this for a couple of reasons.

1. We don't want to pay to ship the item twice. Once from the manufacturer to us and then again to you.

2. Not stocking it also reduces our inventory, warehouse and other operating costs.

This results in a lower cost to us and allows us to pass those savings along to you. On the odd occasion when the item is not available to ship in the usual one of two days we will let you know as soon as possible.

Why does it take so long to get this item?

This item is not stocked but instead picked up from one of our suppliers as orders are received. We find it best to handle items that are updated frequently, are very specialized or just plain slow moving, in this manner.

This helps keep our operating cost low and in turn our prices lower. It will take a little longer for the item to reach you but on the otherhand, your price will be lower as a result.

Kelp also provides sources of nitrogen and potassium, micro-nutrients, carbohydrates and essential plant hormones. The regular use of Kelp as a feed supplement helps increase the utilization of all ingredients in a complete feed ration, improving the overall health and performance of your fish.

Antarctic Krill are a type of shrimp-like marine invertebrate animal. Each krill consists of about 15% high quality protein containing vital amino acids and about 3% fat and vitamins. It supplies minerals such as iron, phosphorus, and calcium. It is human consumption grade.

Krill is a source of natural carotenoids. Over 95% of the pigments present in krill are in the form of asthaxantin. Asthaxantin is not only a natural pigment, but also functions as a photo-protector and anti-oxidant. Furthermore, it has been proven that asthaxantin has an effect in rates of growth and immuno-modulation of both fish and shrimp.
