    Description

    PHYTOPLANKTON
    Tetraselmis
    is a beneficial micro algae found throughout the world's oceans. This live
    phytoplankton
    has been cultured from isolated Tetraselmis cells suspended in agar in petri dish, using
    Hydro Algal Fertilizer
    with the industry-standard
    Guillard
    f/2 medium formula for greater density and longer viability. By culturing directly from a petri dish, you can be assured that you have only
    Tetraselmis
    , and not a mixture of various types of
    microalgae
    .
    Tetraselmis
    is widely accepted as the standard for reef keeping
    aquarists
    to promote the growth and vibrancy of many corals, invertebrates, and other filter feeder livestock. At
    Mercer of Montana
    , we adhere to the highest standards of sterile laboratory protocols, to ensure that each bottle of dense, vitamin rich
    p
    hytoplankton
    is contaminant-free. The salinity of the
    phytoplankton
    you received was cultured at a specific gravity of 1.020.
    Suggested Use:
    To obtain best results,
    Mercer of Montana
    suggests target dosing directed at individual livestock by gently spraying
    1-2ml
    each, using a syringe or other bulb type
    baster
    . Suspend all water movement, including skimmer, for 15-20 minutes while dosing. Begin dosage twice per week, increasing the frequency as recipients and filtration have adjusted to the regimen. This phytoplankton is great for anyone wishing to propagate their own Tetraselmis culture.
