The Foundation of Marine Nutrition: Phytoplankton
Phytoplankton is the base of the ocean food chain and really important for your aquarium's health. These tiny organisms give vital nutrients that support the whole ecosystem. Our PhycoPure™ collection has many different types of phytoplankton to feed your aquatic life. Phytoplankton are microscopic algae that turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into food, making them the main food makers in the ocean. They're packed with essential fatty acids, amino acids, and micronutrients that all marine life needs to grow and stay healthy.
Our PhycoPure™ Reef Blend, which costs $15.00, is the most varied mix of phytoplankton you can buy. It has 9 different types of phytoplankton and even includes zooxanthellae, making it a great general food for your reef tank. This blend is specially made to give a wide range of nutrients, meeting the needs of various sea creatures in your aquarium. Using this blend regularly can really improve water quality, make corals more colorful, and help filter-feeding invertebrates stay healthy.
Zooplankton: The Next Step in the Marine Food Chain
Zooplankton is really important in marine nutrition because it connects phytoplankton to bigger sea creatures. These tiny animals are a key food source for many aquarium inhabitants. Our Zoo-Plasm™ products give you different zooplankton options to support your aquatic ecosystem. Zooplankton are microscopic animals that eat phytoplankton and are an important link in the ocean food web. They're full of proteins and fats, making them great food for fish, corals, and other filter-feeding organisms in your aquarium.
Our ZooPLASM™ PODS, which cost $25.00, is a mix of 3 types of copepods that live and grow well in tanks. These tiny creatures help keep your tank clean by eating waste and are nutritious food for many fish. Copepods are especially good because they can reproduce in the aquarium, creating a lasting food source. They're also great at controlling algae growth and help with the overall biological filtration of your tank.
The Importance of Copepods in Marine Nutrition
Copepods are a vital food source for many sea creatures and help keep the whole ecosystem healthy. These tiny crustaceans are packed with nutrients and help maintain a natural balance in your aquarium. Our AlgaGenPODS™ collection offers high-quality copepod options for your tank. Copepods don't just provide food; they also help cycle nutrients in the aquarium. They eat microalgae and waste, helping to keep the water clean and full of oxygen. Plus, their constant movement in the water encourages fish to feed naturally.
Our AlgaGenPODS™ Tisbe, priced at $17.00, features Tisbe biminensis copepods. These tropical/sub-tropical copepods are great for starting a population in your tank. They eat waste, phytoplankton, fish food, and fish poop, multiplying quickly to provide a lasting food source for your aquarium inhabitants.
Specialized Nutrition: Zooxanthellae for Coral Health
Zooxanthellae are super important for coral nutrition and overall reef health. These symbiotic algae live inside coral tissues, giving them vital nutrients. Our zooxanthellae products help keep your corals healthy and colorful. Zooxanthellae have a mutually beneficial relationship with corals, providing up to 90% of their energy needs through photosynthesis. In return, they get shelter and access to inorganic compounds they need to grow. This teamwork is crucial for coral growth, reproduction, and their ability to build calcium carbonate skeletons.
