Phyto Reef Plus is a long life phytoplankton that you can store at room temperature.
Phyto Reef Plus is packed with a concentrate of green and brown algae's that have no added dyes or synthetic pigments. Mixed phytoplankton blends increase consumption for filter feeders as opposed to single cultures.
This blend contains an excellent ratio of fatty acids, proteins & carbohydrates an is a natural source of carotenoids which provide the benefit of antioxidant activity. Most of the animals on a coral reef are very effective at capturing either zooplankton, phytoplankton or both from the water that passes over them.
Many of these animals can and do capture phytoplankton directly, and the ones that cannot, such as the fishes still take advantage of the nutritional quality of these tiny algae by preying on small animals that do eat them (such as copepods, rotifers and mysids). Why? Because there are a number of essential nutrients provided by marine algae, especially phytoplankton, which cannot be synthesised by animals, and are therefore extremely important components of a healthy diet Feeding
Directions: 1ml for every 10 Gallons.
The benefits of phytoplankton are:
• Brighter coloured corals
• Faster coral growth
• Greater polyp extension
• Increased number of micro fauna
• Increased zooplankton and copepod populations
• Mysid populations will bloom due to the increase in copepods
