Live Phytoplankton – Dual-Strain Culture (Tetraselmis & Nannochloropsis)
Clean-room grown. Lab-proven. Reef-safe. This is next-level live phyto.
Our 2-strain blend of Tetraselmis chuii and Nannochloropsis oculata delivers targeted nutrition for pods, corals, clams, filter feeders, and more. Each batch is cultured in a sterile environment to ensure purity, viability, and peak performance in your reef system.
✅ What’s Inside?
- Tetraselmis chuii: Larger, motile green algae rich in amino acids & essential fatty acids. Excellent for boosting copepod and rotifer reproduction.
- Nannochloropsis oculata: Tiny, non-motile algae with dense EPA content—perfect for filter feeders, sponges, clams, and larval stages.
✅ Ideal For:
- Feeding copepods, amphipods, and rotifers
- SPS/LPS corals, clams, feather dusters, sponges, and azoox corals
- Maintaining biodiversity in nutrient-poor tanks
✅ Dosing Instructions
- Start slow: Begin with 5ml per 10 gallons of water, 1x/day
- Adjust based on tank response: Increase only if coral, pod, and water clarity indicators are favorable
- Don’t overdo it: Water should never turn green. Cloudy water = dial it back
✅ Pro Tips
- Turn off skimmer, return pump, and UV for 30–120 min after dosing
- Leave powerheads or wave makers ON to keep phyto suspended
- Best dosed at night when coral polyps are fully extended—try both light-on and light-off dosing to find your reef's sweet spot
