Reef Phytoplankton is a concentrated blend of green and brown marine phytoplankton designed to provide the essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and amino acids, with biological carotenoids for an invertebrate diet. Size ranges from 1-20 ?m to feed a broad range of tropical marine aquarium filter feeders and invertebrates.
IReef Phytoplankton contains a natural source of carotenoids which provides essential proteins as well as a more bioavailable source of pigmentation when compared to other natural sources and synthetic pigments. Carotenoids provide the extra benefit of antioxidant activity. In addition, Reef Phytoplankton is enhanced to increase the bioavailability of important nutrients such as proteins, lipids, B vitamins, and other organic pigments, thus, corals expend less energy to derive the nutritional benefit. It is blended to contain the proper ratio of fatty acids, carbohydrates, and proteins. Blending phytoplankton yields better nutritional value. Studies show increased consumption of phytoplankton in filter feeders when using mixed cultures versus a single culture of phytoplankton.
DIRECTIONS: Shake well before using. Add 1 capful (5 mL) per 200 L (50 US gallons) of water twice weekly or as required to maintain coral growth. For best results, dose directly to the aquarium; target feeding can overwhelm corals and have a negative impact. Refrigeration after opening is recommended, but not required.
