Brightwell Aquatics PhytoGreen-S

Overview

1 – 2µm Phytoplankton Suspension for Soft Corals, Clams, Sponges, and Other Filter-Feeders

Provides phytoplankton ranging in size from 1 – 2µm.
Ideally-sized for many soft corals, clams, sponges, tunicates, tube worms, and larval invertebrates.
Formulated to provide over 1-billion phytoplankton cells per ml.
Does not require refrigeration.
Supplemented with a proprietary amino acid to aid in coloration of invertebrates.
Formulated by a marine scientist.

Brightwell Aquatics PhytōGreen-S is a concentrated suspension of Nannochloropsis sp., a unicellular marine algae ranging in size from 1 – 2µm and having a relatively high fatty acid content compared to many other species of phytoplankton; it is particularly rich in the omega-3 fatty acid EPA, as well as in several important amino acids. Nannochlorposis falls within the size class of plankton known as picoplankton (0.2 – 2.0µm), which is sometimes considered microplankton. It is the proper size for feeding many species of soft corals (particularly those with short tentacles), as well as clams and other bivalves, sponges, tunicates (sea squirts), plumed worms (Christmas tree worms, feather dusters, etc.), and larval invertebrates such as those of many bivalves.

Though Nannochloropsis provides a number of amino acids, one that is not naturally present has been added to PhytōGreen-S; this proprietary amino acid has been shown in studies to increase coloration of corals and other marine invertebrates. Additionally, a small percentage of vitamin-C is present to increase the benefits of PhytōGreen-S, particularly to corals and their allies that have recently undergone fragmenting or propagation.
PhytōGreen-S may be used in conjunction with other planktonic suspensions to provide a complete range of sizes to filter-feeding and planktivorous organisms.

Caution: Keep out of reach of children. Not for human consumption.
