This is our premier Phytoplankton grown in house every week. It’s comprised of our Nano and Tet strains. We feed this to every displat in our shop and the livestock love it. Feed it to your tank and see what it can do for you. Dietary Benefits Direct Nutrition: Corals, especially soft corals, benefit from nano phytoplankton as a source of essential fatty acids, lipids, and vitamins that are crucial for their metabolic functions and overall health. Indirect Nutrition: Phytoplankton are the base of the aquatic food chain, fueling the growth of zooplankton and copepods. These zooplankton then serve as a more nutritious food source for corals, increasing their protein and lipid intake. Water Quality Improvement Nutrient Absorption: Phytoplankton, through photosynthesis, consume excess dissolved nutrients like nitrates, phosphates, and ammonia from the water, helping to balance water chemistry and prevent the growth of nuisance algae. Waste Recycling: Phytoplankton also absorb broken-down organic waste, converting it into new biomass through a process of bioassimilation, which helps to recycle waste and convert it into useful nutrition for the tank's inhabitants. Ecosystem Benefits Biodiversity: Adding nano phytoplankton increases the biodiversity in a reef tank by providing a food source for various fine-particle filter-feeders, including sponges and small invertebrates. Natural Food Web: By promoting a more natural and functioning food web, phytoplankton contributes to a more stable and healthier reef aquarium ecosystem, which supports a wider variety of life. Enhanced Coloration: Certain phytoplankton, like Nannochloropsis, are rich in pigments such as astaxanthin and zeaxanthin, which can be absorbed by corals, enhancing their vibrant red, yellow, and orange coloration.
