Description
PHYTOPLANKTONTetraselmis
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.
