Live phytoplankton is an extremely important food for a great many animals that are maintained in reef aquariums.

Live Marine Phytoplankton is concentrated and cleaned to provide nutritious live phytoplankton without the contamination of excessive nutrients or metals from the culture media.

Marine reef aquariums can be populated with a variety of phytoplankton feeding animals.

Although some of these animals may feed on preserved phytoplankton, some will reject dead phytoplankton or detritus as food and not consume it. Clams have been shown to reject nonliving partials, passing them instead as pseudo-feces.  Only live phytoplankton will be accepted by all phytoplankton feeding animals.

Feeding Live Paraquatics Phytoplankton to your reef aquarium will greatly increase the population and nutritional quality of copepods and other zooplankton that will be available as food for stony corals.

Recommended usage - 10ml per 30G per day

( Shake it up at least every 3 days )

These are found naturally in your aquarium which arrive on live rock, they are a similar size to newly hatched brine shrimp and are a excellent food source for pipefish, seahorses, mandarin fish, dragonets etc as well as SPS and LPS corals, all of which eat these at a steady rate. If you replenish your system regularly you will give these a good chance of survival. They will feed on phytoplankton, detritus, and waste food so they are of great benefit to your reef system.

Copepods are free living planktonic organisms (resembling a small woodlouse) and range between 1 and 10 millimetres in length. They are capable of limited free movement by flicking their jointed limbs and antennae. This is thought to be a predatory avoidance mechanism. Their antennae also help to prevent them sinking in the water column.

Acclimatise Copepods as you would fish or corals

Simply add 3 drops of Live Phytoplankton daily for continued growth
