Description:
A blend of the six marine microalgae most
commonly used by universities and hatcheries for their superior nutritional
value for aquaculturing marine species of all kinds: Pavlova,
Isochrysis, Thalassiosira weissflogii, Tetraselmis, Nannochloropsis, and
Synechococcus. Super-nutritious food for filter feeders including corals, Tridacnid clams, scallops,
feather dusters,
tunicates
and zooplankton.
Particle size: 1-15 microns.
Use and Storage:
Storage
- Refrigerate (33-42°F / 1-5°C) before and after
opening. The best place to store algae is the bottom shelf because that is the
coldest place in your refrigerator. The worst place to store it is the
refrigerator door which may not be cold enough. Do not store Phyto-Feast in
your freezer because freezing will break many of the algae cells.
- If you accidentally leave the bottle out overnight in a stable environment
where temperatures don’t exceed 75°F / 24°C, then the product
will be fine. But, keep in mind that this may shorten the shelf-life, so
try to use it up before the Best By date.
Best By:
- 9 months
Directions:
If you have not used Phyto-Feast before, start with 1 drop per gallon each
day (1 teaspoon per 100 gallons) . Your animals will rapidly become accustomed
to the phytoplankton (microalgae) and be able to feed on quite a bit more.
If your animals do not "clear" the water in less than an hour - back
off on the amount you are adding because your systems is not fully digesting
all the microalgae.
A common dosage for a mature system is 1-5 drops per gallon (1-5 teaspoons per
100 gallons) each day, depending on your tank setup and animal density.
Broadcast Feeding:
Simply add the dose to a high flow area of the tank. We recommend turning
off your skimmer before adding the algae. Many customers have been successful
by putting their skimmer on a vacation timer so it automatically turns back on
later in the evening (2 hours is a good window).
Target feeding:
Dilute 1 part Phyto-Feast to 4 parts tank water. Mix thoroughly.
Turn off all pumps to allow the tank to go calm. Using a target
feeding device, feed your animals. Wait about 30 minutes and then turn
everything back on. Target Feeding undiluted product is not advised.
Usage Tips:
We recommend turning off your skimmer before adding the algae. Many customers
