Feed your reef like never before with our 48oz Mega-Bottle of Live Phytoplankton – the gold standard in liquid coral nutrition.

This half-gallon supply delivers a dense, vibrant concentration of living microalgae straight to your aquarium. More than just a supplement, it is the foundational food source that drives the entire marine food web. From the smallest coral polyp to the largest clam, your entire tank will respond with explosive growth, vivid coloration, and unparalleled vitality.

What's Inside?
Our premium live blend features a nutrient-rich mixture of premium phytoplankton strains Nannochloropsis. These species are specifically selected for their optimal cell size, digestibility, and exceptional fatty acid profile (rich in EPA and DHA). Every drop is packed with natural pigments, antioxidants, and bioavailable proteins that your reef inhabitants crave.

Why Choose Our 48oz Mega-Bottle?

  • Direct Coral Nutrition: SPS (Acropora, Montipora), LPS (Euphyllia, Acanthophyllia), soft corals (Zoanthids, Mushrooms), and gorgonians actively filter these microalgae from the water column. Regular feeding results in dramatic polyp extension, brighter fluorescence, and accelerated skeletal growth.

  • The Perfect Pod Food: Phytoplankton is the natural diet of copepods and rotifers. Dosing this liquid green gold into your refugium or display tank feeds your existing pod population, encouraging them to breed and thrive. A well-fed pod colony means a continuous, self-replenishing live food source for your fish.

  • Natural Water Clarification & Nutrient Control: Live phytoplankton actively consumes dissolved nitrates and phosphates as it grows. It outcompetes nuisance algae for resources while simultaneously improving water clarity and oxygenating your tank through photosynthesis.

  • Unbeatable Value for Large Systems: At 48 full ounces, this mega-bottle is the most economical choice for aquariums over 100 gallons, multiple tank systems, or reefers who want to stock up. It saves you from frequent small-bottle reorders and ensures you never run out of this essential resource.

  • 100% Live & Active: Unlike preserved or concentrated pastes, our phytoplankton is harvested fresh and shipped alive. The cells remain active and nutritious, ensuring maximum bioavailability and zero risk of polluting your water with dead organics.

How to Use

  1. Shake Well: Before each use, shake the bottle vigorously to resuspend the settled algae cells and ensure an even pour.

  2. Dosing: For best results, add directly to your display tank or refugium. Dose 1 cup (8 oz) per 100 gallons of water volume every 2–3 days, or as needed to maintain a slight green tint in the water that clears within a few hours. Adjust dosage based on your coral load and nutrient levels.

  3. Refrigeration: After opening, refrigerate immediately to preserve freshness and cell vitality. Use within 3–4 weeks for optimal nutrition.

  4. Acclimation Tip: Turn off your protein skimmer for 1–2 hours after dosing to prevent it from removing the phytoplankton before your corals have a chance to feed.
