Product Description
Kent Phytoplex is a highly concentrated complex of aqua cultured, naturally occuring marine phytoplankton. It contains Nannochloropsis, Tetraselmis and Isochrysis sp. Tahitian ranging in size from 2 to 15 microns. Phytoplex provides necessary proteins, carbohydrates and lipids for live and hard and soft corals, tube worms, clams and other invertebrates. It is rich in the omega 3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA and is useful in feeding rotifiers and other plankton and in raising larval fish. Phytoplex is grown in cold saltwater under laboratory conditions. It contains over 3 billion cells per capful and is typically about 15 times as concentrated as competing live cultures, meaning that one 8 oz. bottle of phytoplex has more phytoplankton cells than 1 gallon of the competition. It is free of viruses, toxins and heavy metals which can be a problem when using live algae cultures, cultured in outdoor ponds. Phytoplex contains Nannochloropsis, a small green flagellate and Tetraselmis, a large green flagellate both containing high EPA lipid levels as well as high protein contents. It also contains Tahitian Isochrysis, a small yellow flagellate which is rich in protein, carbohydrates and DHA lipids. Phytoplex is very useful in SPS and soft coral propagation as well as overall reef maintenance. Treats up to 4,720 gallons of water.Main Points:Provides rich sources of protein and EPA and DHA lipids, contains only natural species of marine phytoplankton and preserved for a long shelf life of 4 years.Considerations for Use:For SPS or soft coral propagation, Kent Phytoplex can be used daily. For best results, use Coral Accel simultaneously. Keep a close watch on water quality and do not overfeed Feed Micro-Vert once weekly in lieu of Coral Accel on that day. Continue normal regimen of Kent Kalkwasser, Tech CB and Coral-Vite. Kent Marine Essential Elements should be used simultaneously to replace those minerals lost to protein skimming and carbon or resin filtration. Tech I Iodine will

Corals love it December 20, 2007
Ryan Stecher
Hard to brew your own if you don't have the time, space, and electricity, so this is the next best thing. Your corals will love it. Keep in mind that phytoplankton feeds the pods, which feed everything else in a reef environment.
