DT's Plankton Farm Live Marine Phytoplankton

Live phytoplankton is an extremely important food for a great many animals that are maintained in reef aquariums. DT's Live Marine Phytoplankton is concentrated and cleaned to provide nutritious live phytoplankton without the contamination of excessive nutrients or metals from the culture media. It is very rare for phytoplankton species to survive refrigerated storage. DT's Plankton Farm only uses species that have been proven to survive refrigerated storage for the entire five month shelf life our "best if used by" date is based on. Marine reef aquariums can be populated with a variety of phytoplankton feeding animals. Although some of these animals may feed on preserved phytoplankton, some will reject dead phytoplankton or detritus as food and not consume it. Clams have been shown to reject nonliving partials, passing them instead as pseudo-feces. Only live phytoplankton will be accepted by all phytoplankton feeding animals.
