Phyto Strain 4 blend

 4 Blend strains of phyto - 

• Nannochloropsis 
• One of the smallest microalgae strains available making it easy to digest for all. It is so prolific that it can even uptake nutrients in the tank making it great for dealing with heavy bioloads. 
• 2-5 microns
•  Nonmotile
• High in photosynthetic pigments, fatty acids, and protein
• Tetraselmis
• The high lipid content is important for fueling growth in marine organisms. A staple feed used in zooplankton cultivation and shellfish (clams, scallops, oysters). Capable of enhancing its nutritional profile in nutrient limited aquaria. 
• 10 - 14 microns 
• Motile
• High in lipids, amino acids, vitamins
• Antimicrobial properties suitable for reef infections
• Isochrysis 
• The gold standard in live food cultivation. Its nutritional profile is essential for enriching zooplankton and rearing most larval invertebrates. The compounds it contains greatly enhance photosynthetic reactions.  It can remain in the water column on its own as long as there are nutrients to consume.  
• • 3 - 8 microns
  • Motile
  • High in lipids, acids, proteins
  • Rich in pigments including fucoxanthin (essential feed in photosynthetic coloration)
• Thalassiosira
• A beneficial diatom that can take up trace metals, excess silicates, and ammonia spikes to speed up the cycling process. Having such a large range in size makes it a great food source for filter feeders and copepods. 
• 4 - 32 microns
• Nonmotile
• Variable cell size allows feed to be utilized in multiple stages of larval development
• Consumes silicates in aquaria which can accelerate the cycling process
