Live phytoplankton

Useful Information

Unless your reef tank/fish tank is completely sterile, then there will be microscopic life in your system,not just bacteria in the filters but also phytoplankton & zoo-plankton.Adding phytoplankton kick starts a massive chain reaction that helps your system turn into its own echo-system. Phytoplankton is a vital source of nutrients for your reef inhabitants.
Apart from the requirement for micro-algae for culturing and/or enriching live prey organisms such as Artemia and rotifers algae are often used directly in the tanks for rearing marine fish larvae. This “green water technique”
The effects of the presence of micro-algae in the larval rearing tank are still not fully understood and include:


· a direct food source through active uptake by the larvae with the polysaccharides present in the algal cell walls possibly stimulating the non-specific immune system in the larvae;
· an indirect source of nutrients for fish larvae through the live feed (i.e. by maintaining the nutritional value of the live prey organisms in the tank);
· increasing feeding incidence by enhancing visual contrast and light dispersion, and
· microbial control by algal exudate's in tank water and/or larval gut.


    Nannochloropsis Oculata

                               


 The best food for growing rotifers.
Works  well with mussels.  and used as green water in reef tanks feeding filter feeders. It has an very high EPA level

Green-water is a technique of adding micro algae to your system as an enhancement

Enhancing visual contrast and light dispersion - i.e. the fish can see better. This improves food detection and location, and reduces "nose bumping" syndrome (which leads to bruising and disease). Recent studies indicate that green is the first color that develops in larval fish eyes which might explain the enhanced visual contrast.
Improved nutrition through direct digestion.
Improved nutritional value of live prey (rotifers, brine shrimp, etc.) in the tank which consume the micro algae. 

 

####################################################################

Phytoplankton are the building blocks for life in the ocean,It is
ideal for all filter feeders, soft corals, Clams, Sponges,
Feather duster worms, Scallops, stony corals.
Many inhabitants in live rock & deep sand beds (mud systems)
 also rely on phytoplankton as part of their natural diet. This
 being food items such as rotifers, Artemia nauplii, and
cope-pods (zoo-plankton) that are depleted of essential nutrients in the home
aquarium so it is important that we don't forget the role of
phytoplankton.
