Description

  • Phytoplankton are the primary producers of the ocean, converting light and CO2 into the raw energy that fuels all marine life. Our multi-strain blend is harvested at peak density to ensure your aquarium receives the highest concentration of bioavailable nutrients.
  • Key Benefits:
    • Natural Nitrate & Phosphate Export: As live plants, these algae consume dissolved nutrients as they grow, helping to naturally compete against nuisance hair algae.
    • Boosts Pod Populations: Providing a consistent source of phytoplankton is the best way to explode the population of copepods and rotifers in your refugium.
    • Maximizes Coral Coloration: Rich in pigments and HUFAs, regular feeding results in more vibrant tissue and better polyp extension in filter-feeding corals.
    • Essential for Clams & Filter Feeders: Clams, sponges, and feather dusters rely on these microscopic particles for their daily caloric intake.
  • Storage & Usage:
    • Storage: Keep refrigerated (4–8°C) to maintain dormancy. Shake the bottle daily to prevent the cells from settling and suffocating.
    • Dosing: Start with 5ml per 50 gallons daily, slowly increasing based on your tank’s nutrient levels.
