Live Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton 0.75L – Concentrated Reef & Pod Feed

Description

Live Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton – 0.75 L – Concentrated Marine Microalgae for Reef Aquariums & Live Food Cultures

Freshly cultured – packed to order to ensure maximum cell density and freshness.

Nannochloropsis (N. gaditana) is a small, hardy, non-motile green microalga widely used in marine aquaculture and reef keeping. It’s known for its high EPA content, stability, and ease of culture, making it the ideal everyday workhorsephytoplankton.

Key Benefits

• Small cell size (~2–4 µm) – suitable for all filter feeders, including larval stages of many invertebrates.

• High EPA content – supports healthy growth in copepods, rotifers, and bivalves.

• Hardy & long-lasting – stores better than delicate species like Tetraselmis.

• Cost-effective – perfect for bulk daily dosing to maintain water quality and feed microfauna.

Why it costs less than Tetraselmis

• Faster growth – higher yield per culture cycle.

• More crash-resistant – forgiving to grow and store, reducing production losses.

• Non-motile – doesn’t stimulate feeding visually like Tetraselmis, but still nutritionally strong.

Ideal for

• Maintaining healthy copepod and rotifer cultures.

• Feeding filter-feeding corals, sponges, and clams.

• Boosting tank biodiversity and micro-life.
