Why Use Phytoplankton?
Some marine creatures, like fish, who can't directly capture phytoplankton, cleverly prey on smaller organisms that consume these tiny algae, like copepods, rotifers, and mysids. Marine algae, particularly phytoplankton, are a rich source of essential nutrients that animals can't produce alone, making them a vital part of a balanced diet.
Renowned for their impressive detoxifying abilities, Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton is a crucial component in many reef aquariums. They diligently absorb unwanted chemicals, including ammonia, nitrite, nitrates, phosphates, and silicates, significantly maintaining an optimal aquatic environment. Their role in mitigating these potentially harmful elements underscores the importance and benefits of incorporating Nannochloropsis Phytoplankton in your reef aquarium.
