Pack-a-Plankts™ are a rich, vibrant colony of phytoplankton available in 250mL or 1000mL bottles.
Dosing a reef tank with phytoplankton can offer many benefits, particularly for maintaining a balanced aquatic environment and completing the marine ecosystem. Some key advantages include:
- A direct food source for many small marine organisms, such as copepods, which are in turn food for larger reef inhabitants such as Mandarin Gobys.
- Phytoplankton can help with nutrient cycling and tank stabilization by utilizing excess nutrients like nitrates and phosphates in the water, which can lead to algae blooms and water quality issues.
- Phytoplankton provide essential nutrients, including fatty acids, vitamins, and amino acids, which can improve the health and coloration of corals and other filter feeders.
- As phytoplankton are primary consumers, they allow the introduction of energy into the ecosystem through the conversion of sunlight to nutrients.
- Some corals directly consume phytoplankton, leading to better growth and coloration of corals.
- Dosing with plankton can boost biodiversity, promoting the growth of microfauna like copepods and rotifers, enhancing overall tank health.
- And plenty more!
