Phytoplankton & Microfauna

Phytoplankton is one of the most important yet misunderstood components of a thriving reef aquarium. As the base of the marine food chain, live phytoplankton feeds copepods, rotifers, filter feeders, and coral while helping support biodiversity and ecological balance within reef systems.

In this section, we explore practical phytoplankton dosing strategies, ecosystem benefits, and how live microalgae contribute to long-term reef stability. These guides reflect real cultivation practices used at Reefphyto to produce clean, high-quality live phytoplankton for marine aquariums.
