Tetraselmis - Live Phytoplankton

Live Phytoplankton has great benefits for your reef tank, adding biodiversity, feeding your corals and copepods, and supplementing your cleanup crew.

 

It is known to reduce nitrates and phosphates in your reef aquarium, adding stability to your tank.

 

NOTE: We use Secchi discs to determine our Phytoplankton density as well as examine our cultures under microscope weekly to ensure the Healthiest and densest cultures on the market. Our bottles will always be between 12-18 density, which shows by a dark green color. Lighter the color green the less dense so less phytoplankton cells within.

 

 

Secchi disk definition/purpose: The Secchi disk (or Secchi disc) measures water transparency or turbidity in bodies of water. The disc is mounted on a pole or line and lowered slowly down in the water. The depth at which the disk is no longer visible is taken as a measure of the transparency of the water. This measure is known as the Secchi depth and is related to water turbidity
