Reef Nutrition Phyto Feast Live | 6oz

A blend of the 5 marine microalgae most commonly used by universities and hatcheries for their superior nutritional value for aquaculturing marine species of all kinds: Pavlova, Isochrysis, Thalassiosira weissflogii, Tetraselmis, Nannochloropsis, and Synechococcus. Super-nutritious food for filter feeders including corals, Tridacnid clams, scallops, feather dusters, tunicates and zooplankton.

Phyto-Feast® Live has the same algae as Phyto-Feast but is handled with special care, being harvested and shipped fresh each week, maximizing short-term cell viability.

Features
• Super nutritious: Provides a diversity of phyto-pigments, lipids, omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, carbohydrates and cell sizes, just like Reef Nutrition’s Phyto-Feast Live®.
• Elicits strong feeding response: Phyto-Feast will bring invertebrates and difficult-to-keep animals out to feed.
• Value: Most concentrated algal feed on the market - dramatically more nutrition for your money.
• Enhances color: Phyto-Feast's brown, green, blue-green, yellow-green and golden algae will enhance the health and the color of your animals.
• Long shelf life: When properly stored in your refrigerator, Phyto-Feast provides the same value after 8 months-plus as day 1.

 

If you have not used Phyto-Feast before, start with 1 drop per gallon each day (1 teaspoon per 100 gallons) . Your animals will rapidly become accustomed to the phytoplankton (microalgae) and be able to feed on quite a bit more.

If your animals do not "clear" the water in less than an hour - back off on the amount you are adding because your systems is not fully digesting all the microalgae. A common dosage for a mature system is 1-5 drops per gallon (1-5 teaspoons per 100 gallons) each day, depending on your tank setup and animal density.

Package size/volume
6oz, Particle size: 1-15 microns

Storage
Note: Refrigerate (33-42°F / 1-5°C) before and after opening. The best place to store algae is the bottom shelf because that is the coldest place in your refrigerator. The worst place to store it is the refrigerator door which may not be cold enough. Do not store Phyto-Feast in your freezer because freezing will break many of the algae cells. Best used within 9 months.
