    Description

    Pure high-density phytoplankton cultured with sterile Coral Pro seawater or RO freshwater. These cultures can be used to feed entire reef systems, corals, clams, copepods, rotifers, amphipods, dusters and other zooplankton as well as freshwater systems including shrimp, daphnia and amphipod cultures. It can be added directly to your display tank, sump or refugium without adding any unwanted heavy metals, chlorine or nutrients found in tap water or other unpure water sources. We use Guillard's f/2 formula as a food source for the phytoplankton (excluding Spirulina) during culturing. This formula has been proven to be completely reef-safe, unlike sub-par cultures utilizing cheap houseplant fertilizers containing metals and chemicals that can be toxic to a reef environment. This is a unialgal sample of phytoplankton, meaning that it has been carefully harvested to only contain this single species of algae. These specimens are also perfect as a starter culture allowing you to harvest your own phytoplankton. Directions will be included with every order on how to start a thriving culture at home, based on the specific species you are ordering.  Our 32 oz. cultures are comparable to most other breeders' 64 oz. cultures because of our refined high-density culturing techniques. If refrigerated, it has tested stable for over 3 weeks from delivery. Just shake it up every day or two to keep the cells from layering the bottom of the bottle. All orders will come with a measuring syringe for feeding and dosing. We are knowledgeable about our product and it's uses, so please feel free to send any and all questions for a quick response. Thanks for looking!
