Phyto-PLASM™ Brown is a very focused assemblage of Phytoplankton. It has 3 different types of brown phytoplankton/microalgae and even contains zooxanthellae. It is known for nutritional goodness and attributes, including antivirals and antioxidants. The brown species used in this product vary in size to feed different organisms. It is an excellent general feed for your reef. More importantly, it is great specific food for most PODs, clams, flame scallops, shrimp and some corals.

It is not right to say that “Phyto is just phyto” or that “…all algae are the same and it does not matter what you use as long as you add some phyto (plankton)” Microalgae or Phytoplankton are as diverse a description as “food” is to what you have on a plate. Clearly popcorn is different from steak which differs from broccoli. The same applies for phytoplankton/microalgae and anyone who tells you other has been misinformed and is passing that on to you!

Marine organisms feed by smell and particle size and in other cases they just mass filter the water for whatever is available. We have observed some corals do this and actually reject certain types of microalgae/phytoplankton. So NO! Not all phytoplankton/microalgae are appropriate for feeding. There are specific combinations of phytoplankton/microalgae that should be used to grow certain marine animals. Phyto-PLASM™ Brown is great for most PODs, clams, flame scallops, shrimp, corals, and can be used as a general feed for the reef tank.

Did you know that phytoplankton/microalgae is used to condition water in aquaculture. Live phytoplankton/microalgae will bind heavy metals and take up excess nutrient, including CO₂.

Phyto-PLASM™ Brown comes in the Easy Feed Packaging™ that allows you to drip-feed your system for days at a time, or it can also be stored in the refrigerator and used "manually" to spot feed when desired. The life span in the refrigerator is upwards of 3 months. The product should be agitated periodically to prevent settling and maintain its shelf life.
