Give your reef the pure, concentrated power of Nannochloropsis with our 64oz Jumbo Mega-Bottle – the ultimate live microalgae solution for serious aquarists.
This half-gallon supply delivers an exceptionally dense, vibrant green culture of 100% live Nannochloropsis – one of the most versatile and nutritionally complete phytoplankton strains available. Whether you are feeding a packed coral garden, sustaining a bustling copepod refugium, or maintaining a large display tank, this single-strain powerhouse provides consistent, reliable nutrition that your entire ecosystem will thrive on.
What's Inside?
Our culture contains a pure, uncontaminated strain of Nannochloropsis – a microalgae species prized by reefers and marine biologists alike for its:
-
Ideal Cell Size (2–4 microns): Small enough to be easily captured and digested by a vast array of filter feeders, including SPS corals (Acropora, Montipora), LPS corals (Euphyllia, Blastos), soft corals, feather dusters, sponges, and tridacna clams of all sizes.
-
Superior Nutritional Profile: Packed with long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (particularly EPA), omega-3s, proteins, and natural carotenoids. This translates directly into enhanced coral coloration, faster tissue growth, and improved overall health.
-
High Stability & Hardiness: Nannochloropsis is one of the most resilient phytoplankton strains, maintaining its cellular integrity and nutritional value longer than many other species, even during shipping and storage.
Why Choose Our 64oz Pure Nannochloropsis?
-
100% Single-Strain Purity: No mixing, no guesswork. This dedicated culture ensures you are delivering a precise, predictable nutritional source every single time. It eliminates competition between different algal species and allows you to tailor your feeding regimen with confidence.
-
The Ultimate Copepod Food: Nannochloropsis is the gold-standard diet for culturing and sustaining copepods. Dosing this directly into your refugium or display tank fuels your pod population, encouraging rapid breeding and ensuring a continuous, self-replenishing live food supply for mandarins, seahorses, pipefish, and wrasses.
-
Natural Nutrient Export: Live Nannochloropsis cells actively consume dissolved nitrates and phosphates from your water column as they grow. Regular dosing helps outcompete nuisance algae for resources while simultaneously improving water clarity and oxygenation through photosynthesis.
-
Unbeatable Value for Large Systems: At 64 full ounces (half a gallon), this jumbo bottle is the most cost-effective choice for aquariums over 150 gallons, multi-tank setups, or reefers who prefer to buy in bulk. It drastically reduces the hassle of frequent reordering.
-
Fresh, Active, & Bioavailable: Harvested and shipped live, our phytoplankton arrives with maximum cell integrity. Unlike dead pastes or preserved concentrates, live cells remain suspended and digestible, providing pure nutrition without adding unnecessary organic waste to your system.
How to Use
-
Shake Vigorously: Before each use, shake the bottle well to resuspend any settled algae cells and ensure an even, consistent pour.
-
Dosing: Add directly to your display tank, sump, or refugium. For best results, dose 1 cup (8 oz) per 100 gallons of water volume every 2–3 days. Adjust the amount based on your coral density and nutrient levels – a slight green haze that clears within a few hours is the ideal target.
-
Storage: Refrigerate immediately after opening to preserve freshness and cell vitality. Use within 3–4 weeks for optimal nutritional value. Keep the bottle sealed when not in use.
-
Pro Tip: Turn off your protein skimmer and mechanical filtration for 1–2 hours after dosing. This allows your corals, clams, and pods ample time to feed without interruption before the skimmer resumes normal operation.
