Storage -
Phytoplankton
: To extend the viability of the phytoplankton contents past the 7-day growth cycle, remember to open each container (to assure gas exchange after shipping) immediately upon receipt, refrigerate contents, and invert bottle once daily (do not shake). In this manner, unused contents should retain potency for up to 30 days. Phytoplankton to be used as an inoculant should be used within 7 days of receipt, to assure maximum density.
Hydro Algal Fertilizer
: Keep unused fertilizer in cool, dark place for up to two years. Shake well before use.
Warning
: Not recommended for human consumption. Filtering during the bottling process assures you?re adding the highest level of purity to your livestock and saltwater.
